Ingredients of a Subway Car is a series of installations, performance and simulations 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.
