Collaboration with legendary Vito Acconci

I got a call from Acconci Studio a couple of weeks ago and ended up directing an experimental film for one of Vito Acconci’s latest projects. The film is now hanging in the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in this show.  Working with the 70 year old visionary was unforgettable.  Known for his poetry, performance art and architectural spaces, this latest piece is an origami inspired fashion piece/umbrella.  Pictured is a still from the film, which was shot, edited and projected in a vertical (portrait) orientation. The film was made in DUMBO, near Acconci’s studio.
