"a message piece that's also a masterpiece" - Brian McCormick, Gay City News

"a pitch-perfect, surreal dose of reality" - Susan Yung, Sunday Arts Blog

"the layers between what we perceive and see are purposely and poignantly ambiguous....atmospheric and choreographically dense" - Gia Kourlas, NY Times

"a surreal, cerebral real-time lava lamp" - Andy Horwitz, culturebot

"unsatisfying...self-indulgent" - Paul Menard, Time Out NY

(re)DEVELOP (death valley) is a real-time video performance installation about the collision between the personal attachment to the idea of home as homestead, a place to put down roots - and the idea of real estate as a salable commodity, a marketing platform, a uptopian fantasy, and a representation of wealth. Inspired by my experience of living and working in Long Island City, Queens (the site of a massive and unprecedented redevelopment project), (re)DEVELOP will combine real time video processing and found footage to construct a series of interweaving visual narratives around ideas of shared, temporary and abandoned living spaces.
