Song for 360 Court Street

Single channel HD video; 4:59

 

Made on-site during a residency at Residency Unlimited in Brooklyn, New York, this video piece responds to the unique situation of having living spaces and the Residency Unlimited gallery space built within the architectural confines of a former church. Four singers perform, separately, a hymn based on a canticle written by St Francis of Assisi in 1224, in four part harmony, in four different apartments that reside within the church walls. Architectural or personal details that make up each space are seen as we hear each voice sing their part, joining together at the end in four part harmony in gallery space.
