This performance is an ode to my grandfather, Harry Bennett who made a living as a painter for Gothic and Romance novels in the 60s and 70s. He spent much of his life as a solitary man, committing himself to walking, philosophizing and creating. This piece incorporates our shared love for reflection amid landscape. The 16mm footage was shot during a residency in The Ozarks. The audio accompaniment incorporates recordings of my grandfather, field recordings of oil rigs and fishing wire in a Louisiana bayou and live amplification of the projector’s motor using both contact mics and electromagnetic pick-ups.
