Doug Aitken: sleepwalkers

Nighttime installations "Sleepwalkers" comprises 8 large-scale moving images projected on the facades around The Museum of Modern Art. It's about the journeys of 5 city inhabitants who are a bicycle messenger (Ryan Donowho), an electrician (Seu Jorge), a postal worker (Chan Marshall), a businessman (Donal Sutherland), and an office worker (Tilda Swinton). The reason they all are "sleepwalkers" is because of their late-hour jobs. Across multiple screens, these 13-mintue films show the moment of movement continuously, juxtaposing the charecters differently in every performance.

This show was magnificent. We were watching it while there was a slighly snow. It was so freaking cold. However, it was worth standing in the horrible weather and enjoying the spectacular show. One good thing of this installation is that passersby can stop to watch this performance for FREE because it's open to public at no charge. I'd like to see this kind of art more often. I'd be very regretful if I have to pay $20 for an admission fee and get to see three basketballs in the fish tank. Right? Excaliburssoul
