A Curious Invasion/Wave Hill
A Curious Invasion/Wave Hill, 2001, James Murphy – Photo Gallery
“In over a decade of watching Wave Hill events, I’ve never had such a good time.”
This multi-sensory choreographic installation for 8-88 performers, 24 haystacks, 10 fans, 5 sprinklers, 4 TV/VCR’s, and 2,000 ice cubes, creates images full of mystery and humor. With surprise after surprise, the ordinary becomes extraordinary and beauty is redefined. What at first appears out of place falls into place in exhilarating shifts of perception.
