The dream and the waking |
For almost a year I rode the Peter Pan bus from the New York Port Authority to South Station in Boston, a gruelingly uncomfortable four and half hour journey that was, for a year, the one part of my life that never changed. The dream and the waking is a documentation of this weekly commute between Brooklyn, where I lived, and Boston, where I worked. I document not only the fact of the commute but also the unstoppable stream of anxious thoughts that ran through my mind on this commute. The mental environment of the commute can be compared to a recurring unpleasant dream. I chose to represent the dream and the waking as though one never fully awakens, and begin and end the piece with sequences that could be looped endlessly as the story repeats itself week after week. |
