duration: 15 minutes
“Oh, river, were you not so close by these cliffs and banks, you could be the ocean.”
"Oh, river" is a video screened with a live musical accompaniment of original songs and narration. Set in the wilderness, the city, and the passageways made to travel between these environments, two people are on a quest for synchronicity.
"Oh, river" is a narrative video project about a unique harmony that can be found in egalitarian relationships. Set in the wilderness, the city, and the passageways made to travel between these environments, two people are on a quest for synchronicity.
The music and script for "Oh, river" is based on a poem written while overlooking the Hudson River at Wave Hill Garden in the Bronx. The video will be screened with a live musical accompaniment of original songs performed as our musical collaboration, "The Wind & Good Things."
