This July, I’m the Artist in Residence at DEFIBRILLATOR (dfbrl8r), a gallery in Chicago that shows some really great performance art.

First, I’ll be working with some of the footage that I shot in Japan. I have such an abundance of material, I hope I can make sense of it all. I captured many different things, but the thing that seems to connect most of them seems to be that they are all involve people doing repetitive things. Sometimes, it’s playful–surfers bobbing in the waves–and sometimes, it’s work–fishermen winding rope into tall cylindrical forms. I think of each of them as drawings, or moving photographs, and while I was shooting them even named them after forms– semicircle, ellipse, cylinder… Check out my Japan post to see some of the stills.

Also, I’ll be finding some new things to shoot in Chicago. I hope I can get some of those up, too!

I will be showing what I’ve created on July 27th beginning at 8pm. There will be a little reception, so please stop by, and bring your friends!
