I need space to build A CARNIVAL.

I began experimenting with live streaming in April 2023, drawn to its ephemeral nature and immediacy. For me, it became a way to bring the carnival into the streets—not as spectacle, but as a mode of attention, openness, and public engagement.

The live stream is a transient space that bridges two worlds: the street's grit and unpredictability and the gallery's curated stillness. Like an actual carnival, it’s filled with unexpected moments—things you only notice when you’re willing to be surprised.

I’m currently using the medium as fieldwork for an ongoing conceptual project I call BerdsCarnival. These “live-walks” are long, real-time journeys across Brooklyn, each one starting from my studio in Dumbo and heading toward a culturally charged site somewhere in the borough. The walks aren’t just about movement—they’re a ritual, gathering fragments of place and time.

Each stream is a chance encounter. To catch the next one, [sign up for my mailing list].
