WOOKEY WORKS
Walking LA|(Sur)facing the City
2008
Performance
This multi-disciplinary performance work evolved from Wookey’s two and a half year research project of walking in Los Angeles. It considers the perspective of the pedestrian through a series of photographs collected on the walks. The photographs are projected onto various surfaces of the gallery space, becoming frames for the bodies of the performers who interact with them through movement, writing, erasing and tracing.
