Ingredients of a Subway Car - The 1

Digital video, 2017

Inspired by the 1 Train of the NYC Subway.

Ingredients of a Subway Car is a series of video, performance, animation, installations inspired by the NYC subway and based on a drawing of the same name.

The videos of the performance, simulations and installations were cut into six, six minute long videos named after six different subway lines I lived on in New York city: The L, The R, The 7, The A, The 6 and The 1.

Here pictured is a room sized installation and performance. In a room covered with pen and ink drawings wallpaper and paper sculptures, I work with paint and ink, found objects and food.

Inspired by the NYC subway, where various characters perform various routines, from simple getting from point A to point B - to the theater of the Absurd. There are all kinds of objects, and hands.

A room size installation, and a performance I created over four hours, without a script and working spontaneously with various objects, including paint, ink, food and found objects

2. Brushes and paint

3. Old singing clock

4. Apple peels ( I love apples, usually consume a tall bag of it daily )

The installation room and wearables were created over several days using a drawing of the same name, re-arranged and transferred on paper to create a custom wallpaper. The room was created by plastering the walls with that drawing wallpaper. The pants paper sculpture was created by collaging drawings printed on paper.

Ingredients of a Subway Car Animation and Simulation, still

Still from the animation and simulation of the same name, based on a pen and ink drawing, also of the same name. The pen and ink drawing was scanned into the computer, and individual elements were animated or made into soft and rigid bodies and the animation/simulation was run in Unity 3D and recorded.
