I need space to build A CARNIVAL.
I started experimenting with live streaming in April 2023 because I was interested in the ephemeral nature. It is a means of taking the carnival to the streets. The live aspect is a transient space that connects two worlds: the grittiness of the street with that of the physical exhibition space. Like an actual carnival, there are things one can see when open to curiosity and surprise.
Currently, I am using the medium as a tool for a sort of fieldwork I am conducting for the carnival, where I take long, live-streamed walks (live-walks) in Brooklyn, starting from my studio in Dumbo. Sign up for my mailing list to catch my next live-walk.
