Project #4: One Minute Live Performance
I know this is well past one minute but it didn’t feel complete when I cut it shorter. Marina Abramovic’s documentary was mind blowing and stretched my previously conceived notions of what art is and can be. Although she is most known for her radical displays, I was more influenced by her subtle performances like when she sat in a chair and gave blank stares to strangers. I hope I was able to adequately show the inspiration I gathered from her work.
The background music is a song I made a year or so ago called “Black Ice” and the footage is a blend of shots that I took myself using a tripod and phone as well as clips from Earl Sweatshirt’s “Grief” video. I would have recreated similar scenes to Earl’s with me as the subject but I think once you see the clips I borrowed it will be understandable how recreating these sentiments would have required an extensively larger amount of resources than I have access to.
If you like the music, please check my other stuff out as well:

Daaaamn, I feel a little bad about mine now haha. This is seriously really amazing though, the production value hooked me and the artistic expression of these raw feelings strengthened the captivation.Â
