LOOK AT ALL THIS TIME! (for the wanderers, for Mahalia Jackson, for Noah Purifoy)
A performative offering composed of a live, improvised soundscape with footage of Southern California desertscapes by Daonne Huff and Aron Sanchez.
Seeking: a person, a place, a thing that invokes the sublime that provides a sense of a feeling of freedom of comfort of solace of catharsis of hope for / in something, still.
One of Aron Sanchez and Daonne Huff’s hinges is a love of and for the desert: the air, the sounds, the colors, the creatures, the scale, the textures, the space, the time. The time. How time seems to collapse and expand simultaneously out there!
The current state of the world has made being in the now a challenge. As life and living seems to be a precarious and exhausting playground game. The rules are constantly changing and as participants we’re skipping, overstepping, waiting and/or anticipating across and between the past, present and future. All the while trying to keep in step. Note to self: create reminders of the passages of time. How long has it been?
And so in an effort to reset, recharge and regroup, we headed west, in pursuit of something that was greater than. That would compel from within an ecstatic song to ultimately be shared out, to make space, to ready for what is still to come.
Yea, though we walk through the valleys…oh Come Sunday, come Sunday that’s the day. Can I get an amen? Amen my sister! Amen my brother. Peace, if only for a moment, be with you.
