Ricochet: Post No Bills

Description:

Behind this fancy graffitied fence, a mystery exists. I'm saying there was an earthquake in Manhattan last summer, and that explains the crumbled stone church on East 12th Street. There wasn't a bomb dropped, or an electrical fire ... but most of the church is missing and there's a new big building going up behind it. So strange. So bizarre.

The concept for the video series "Ricochet: Thought to Idea" is pretty simple. I shoot images and match them with my spoken-word pieces: funny stories about something that really happened, or an abstract concoction of things that bounce through my mind. They're little art videos that make you think. (By the way, what are you thinking right now?)
