NO WIND

NO WIND presents a unique phenomenon of human billboards as it appeared in the streets of San Diego, California, spring 2011. The work re-examining a format borrowed from the language of protest to that of advertisement, constructing a choreography that bears both poetic and political meaning. While one channel shows the documented phenomenon, the other shows an 83 years old Cambodian sign holder in a spontaneous monolog.


NO WIND was supported by the Schusterman Visiting Artist Program and ArtPower! University of California, San Diego, during a visiting scholar semester at UCSD, spring 2011.
