Ladyfest Berlin
Concert Finale SO36
August 13, 2011
Womxn_Gleaning is a video installation work that screened at Ladyfest Berlin, during the finale concert. The projection was installed inside the performance hall of SO36 for the duration of the event. The video includes 3,500 still images collected online throughout the summer of 2011. Searches are linked to women artist, writers, philosophers, activist, athletes, entertainers and feminist pop-culture. The piece was performed throughout the five hour event in which I controlled the playback and speed of the video, which shifted in relation to the timing of the music. The installation soundtrack was performed live by the bands, Mensch, Monster and the Immigrant, Respect My Fist and Rodeo.
