“El Espectaculo” is a three-screen projection that explores gestures, postures, and actions removed from their original spatial context and transposed onto a Broadway stage. The original soundtrack is comprised of sampled Broadway musicals and synchronized with the movements of the characters to suggest a choreographed dance. The work demonstrates how recycled images can become vessels by which new narratives can be inferred. The work will be shown at the Jessica Murray Projects, Brooklyn, in Spring 2006.
