A pop-up, looping video installation for the basement of the PS1 Cloud House featuring two dance films created through the nonhierarchical co-directorship of Stephanie Miracle (choreographer), Auden Lincoln-Vogel (cinematographer), and Ramin Roshandel (composer). 

Playing on a loop in the basement of the PS1 Cloud House (opposite Close House) on 583 South Gilbert April 6 & 7 from 3 - 5pm and April 8 from 11 - 4pm.

The film Hyperdistanced, created with the UI Department of Dance for their Gala2020, reimagines the space of a parking ramp through dance, utilizing the medium of video as both fertile grounds for interdisciplinary audio-visual collaboration and as a practical means of reaching audiences during the pandemic when in-person performances were not possible. MAMMAL HALL (2022), created in partnership with the UI Musuem of Natural History, explores the temporality and epistemology of museums, and the relationship between subject/object, animate/inanimate & viewer/exhibition in these spaces. Differing from traditional dance films that center the dancer, MAMMAL HALL questions the dominant presence of humans in the Anthropocene by reorienting the hierarchy of bodies in space. The dancers are literally positioned at lower level in the camera frame, using “deadness” as a movement quality as opposed to virtuosic, humanist choreography. This shift in attention elevates the “aliveness” of the motionless, taxidermized animals, the pseudo-natural diorama spaces, and whispers of complex colonial histories found in the museum. Both projects amplify place through multisensory exploration resulting in polyphonic, playful and poetic films.
