Light Fades

Again, I set up the camera at the Overview Spot and captured images of me performing various stretches on the Standing Rocks. More apparent in the timelapse than me, is the fading daylight.

Overview Point

I took the camera up to the Overview Point, from where I filmed a standard performance of my Standing Rock stretching routine.

Being a CliffRock



Looking for a place in which to position the camera, I found gaps and cave-like features up to the right of the CliffRock. It also formed an Overview Point from where all the through-passings of The Space can be seen. 



I made use of the space by morphing to it - amalgamating my body into the landscape - human organism adorns rocky features.




Being a CliffRock.

Is this what I mean when I talk about Performance Architecture? It feels like it.

The Light Has Gone


 I passed the camera around three circles around three perpendicular axes, as I stood atop the Standing Rocks facing the CliffRock in the damp darkness of the evening. The resulting footage would most likely have been unwatchable - had it been light enough to see anything of it.

What happens to Art when "The Light Has Gone"?
What does Unwatchable mean?

What am I actually doing here?

I am turning-up-in/inhabiting a space daily (or almost-daily) and seeing / looking / watching / hearing / listening what happens.

Dark Matter



It got late.

So I went out anyway, having missed going to a lecture at the library on Dark Matter, and thought I would attempt to draw some dark matter of my own.

But the moon was shining brightly through the clouds and it was light enough that the fear of bears was not so strong. So I drew some of the  forms of the moonlit CliffRock.

I assumed that drawing in the dark on crumpled paper that I was unable to see would result in an uninteresting piece of crumpled  paper. But it turs out that the action of drawing has captured something of the essence of The Place.
Perhaps, however, it is just a crumpled piece of paper after all.

Haircut

I arrived in The Space.

Then I sat by The Tree (that I had planted) and shaved parts of my hair to fall down near and around it.



Will hair provide nutrition for tree?

Rises

Today the moon rises over the mountains in a clear blue sky, as the snowmakers hish white crystals all over the ski slopes.

I set up the camera to film from over the road, taking in the silhouette of the whole BigRock.

After my bigform standings on the Standing Rocks - and a failed attempt at a 180 degree jump to land on the rocks - I jump down from the Standing Rocks and run towards the CliffRock.

My first attempt to rise up the CliffRock is thwarted by gravity. My second attempt takes me to about head height, where I cling to the Rock for a few seconds, before attempting to run down the CliffRock, and landing on my feet, rather harder than I anticipated.

I walk - a little faster and more adrenaline-fueled - back over the road to the camera.

Watch Carefully.
