Succession, 2018 HD video Made at di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art. Dancers Suzette Sagisi and Jane Selna, Hope Mohr Dance Audio composition by Mike Maurillo Premiered in Be Not Still, Living in Uncertain Times, di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, Sonoma, California. Video installation: HD video, 2 sided projection screen, cut vinyl mirror dance floor and charred wood , 25’x25’ Succession features choreographed movement made in collaboration with Hope Mohr Dance Company that was filmed on the property of Di Rosa Center for the Arts, where the ground and trees burned in the 2017 wildfires. In the opening sequence these images are intercut with images from other cataclysmic environmental events occurring elsewhere, around the globe during that same year. The video is part of an installation where it is projected above a patterned mirror floor made of fragmented shapes cut in vinyl used for dance floors. Inspired by Judy Dater’s 1981 photograph ‘Self Portrait with Steam Vent’, the floor extends the spatial qualities of the video and reflects viewers that choose to walk on it. Charred pieces of wood blackened from the fires also occupy the floor, giving agency to the earth inside the gallery.
