boulevard

a new landscape inquiry loosely springing from an experimental combination of about 300 sheets of expired 4x5 film, an ultra minimalist wooden pinhole camera loaned from a friend, and the simple utter truth that i fell in love with a 14 mile palm-lined boulevard in Fresno

wash rinse repeat

it was during a long hot shower with the irritating interruption of the damned broken toilet running every 45 seconds that i began to put a few pieces together

  • horses, walking
  • a 14 mile walk, walking
  • a 14 mile walk, riding
  • me, solo
  • me and others
  • current residents (agricultural workers of Fresno)
  • orange vests for unity and vision
  • fill the boulevard with dirt again
  • wheel or graph mix of various personality responders to calculate formula / parameters / interests of the project
  • in the mix so far: Mark Thompson; <-- Ron; Francis Alys; singular image versioning, stacked layering and visual poetics of Mike & Doug Starn; "honoring" in For the Sea and performances of Bethan Huys + our walk/studio visit last year; song writing of John Doe as a case study for the poetics of personal narrative and creative crafting in the storytelling process; demo to final mix study of LOST / Damion Gallegos; reflections on the expandable words and images of GH
  • some form of performative element. grace, elegance, of a time past. Fred Astair dancing with coat rack. Royal Wedding Hotel sequence v. Jamiroquai (or C Walken in Fat Boy Slim)
