Untitled (Pink) (2011-present) is a series of video works depicting a woman performing a dance like gesture in a pink cape. The action is similar to a whirling dervish, and the woman is filmed in a variety of public spaces. Some of the sites are urban, some are in natural landscapes, and the effect is intended to create a sense of a never-ending gesture existing in a kind of hyper real or virtual space. With a costume designed in collaboration with artist Kiki Ando, the works explore a sense of jouissance in the movement of the body that is transformative and free. A woman desperate for an escapist trip, to lift off from reality in a beautiful, private moment, and allow the viewer to trespass on this. 1min 24 sec. Silent.
