Montana, 1969

projected Video, acrylic mirrors, music

This is an excerpt from a live performance in which Edek Sher and I used flexible mirrors and a split video projected down onto us to tell the story of being between places, of being in the uncertain — but nostalgic — limbo between earth and space, home and foreign territory, familiar and strange. The title of the piece reflects that nostalgia, and references both the location of much of the footage and the year the moon landing permanently reframed our conception of accessible land. I shot all the footage on a phone, in transitory moments across wilderness areas. These views, from the windows of cars and airplanes, together form a picture of a journey without start or end, a kind of peaceful perpetual in-between.
