The Pool
Big Screens, Fall 2011
The Pool brings a calm space for meditation, introspection and relaxation to the lobby of the IAC building. Swimmers break the surface, explore the 120 foot wide pool and interact with each other. It is a journey for both themselves and the audience.
Directed by Antonius Wiriadjaja and Valentina Camacho.
Music by Merche Blasco. Sound Design by Phan Visutyothapibal.

Summer 2009
A collaboration with Joan Healy
Franz West’s largest sculpture to date, The Ego and the Id, was on display in New York City’s Central Park until March of 2010. To celebrate the acclaimed artist’s love of whimsy and interactivity, Dublin artist Joan Healy and I reenacted the sculpting process using their own bodies as part of the medium. We plastered ourselves onto a bench, painted our bodies pink and yellow, and remained still for an encouraging audience, in effect mimicking The Ego and the Id.
Special thanks to Bob Clark for video and stills.
Summer 2008
A collaboration with Melissa Li
A very special, moving picture episode of Suki Suki Cooks.
