Keeping Dry
2019, HD, 3:15



A document of respite from romantic longing and the ceaseless rainfall of the Basque country spent in Bilbao’s Museo de Bellas Artes.  Guests, paintings and sculptures bounce off each other, short-circuiting in the mayhem of an old film digitally (re)re-produced and slowed to harsh noise and pulsing color.  The title describes a failed challenge, as pigeons bathe in dirty sidewalk water and shoes float upside down in a Madrid fountain.
