In Boyton Beach, Florida, Naomi (age 80) and Irving (90) share the exercise routines that keep them mobile and energetic. An exploration of choreography and the everyday, Naomi’s movements in the pool make maps out of water and light while Irving’s footsteps add rhythm and asphalt to the flow of water. – LB
“A delicate documentary on daily exercises practiced by surprisingly fit Naomi and Irving.” – Movement on Screen Festival
The Pool
1950’s 16mm swimmers dive unknowingly into video-infested waters.

“Eclipsing the Sun shows an eclipse I created, visible from only one location, by holding a disk in the air above me as the sun set behind me.” – CB
A life size replica of the Gallows from High Noon in Joshua Tree California. This sculpture was created by artist Noah Purifoy. Gallows sits amongst an expansive outdoor gallery of installations, sculptures and assemblages which clink and settle in the evening wind. Also present were the caretakers and their dogs. At several points you can hear our voices as we talk about images, education, and the possibilities of creating something different. – JJ
“Accelerating the Sunset (by riding a bicycle away from the sun as fast as I can) shows my attempt to change the speed of the setting sun by changing my position on the earth’s surface during the forty minutes leading up to the sun dropping below the horizon. The left frame shows the view from a stationary camera at the location where I started riding. The right frame shows the view from a camera mounted to the back of my bicycle as I rode.” – CB
This piece is a visual illustration of what hermeneutics is. With the cunning use of WWII footage it makes you believe that you are watching a proper war film. When you already expect the usual archive movie routine — everything changes. And you find yourself watching a completely different film. – AD
That Which Moves The Sun And Stars is a piece that examines the idea of fate and its existence. The piece follows the path of one whose perception of fate is brought to question. Using excerpts from Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy,” That Which Moves The Sun And Stars considers the motions of restructuring the perception of fate or moving forward with the realization of its lack of existence. – TS
In a flash
a future opens up
but you’ve just as soon missed it
a moment between
stolen twilight
borrowed dawn
in a flash
one consciousness flickers into another
green opportunity
green between
don’t blink
don’t think
the pinprick of the moment-of-becoming happens
in a flash
explode the moment
stay a while
