“those that from a distance look like flies”

This project was created in collaboration with Patrice Le Gal, director of research at CNRS. A videographer and sculptor born in Santiago, Chile, Javiera Tejerina-Risso lives and works in Marseille.
Presented by internationally renowned artist Lita Albuquerque, Prime Meridian: Zero Degrees explored the relationship between humanity and the movement of the cosmos. Albuquerque projected two videos on the walls of stellar rotation from the north and south poles and a projection on the ground of a body’s shadow running. In this projected world, Albuquerque suspended our ordinary reality. The normal ebb and flow of life ceased, in order to better understand our common bonds of time, stillness and motion.
With sound composed by Susan Deyhim, Prime Meridian: Zero Degrees was performed by Jasmine Albuquerque Croissant, Marc Breslin and Clarissa Ribiero.
Lita Albuquerque is an installation/environmental artist, painter and sculptor. She has developed a visual language that brings the realities of time and space to a human scale and is acclaimed for her ephemeral and permanent art works executed in the landscape and public sites.

She received her BA from Washington University, St. Louis and has taught at the School of Architecture, National University of Mexico and SUNY at Purchase. She is founder and director of The Silkscreen Project, St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery in New York City.
Dow Jones: A Solfége Economy was a real-time singing portrait of the US stock market, and by extension, the U.S. economy. Each business day, millions of publicly owned company stocks and shares are bought, sold and exchanged in a perpetual cycle for capital gain. Dow Jones interpreted the resulting fluctuations in share values to create a continuous sound of economic highs and lows.
