36.5 | BODO INLET (ARTHOUSE DOC)
36.5 / A Durational Performance with the Sea (2013 – present) is series of nine site-specific participatory performances and video artworks that is created with local communities in bodies of water around the world. In each, I stand in a tidal area for a full tidal cycle as water slowly engulfs my body and then recedes. The public is invited to participate in the research and preparation, standing in the water for as long as they like, and marking the passing of the hours from the shore.
Each work in the series expands on the previous work, and consists of a live performance event, a long-form cinematic video work (lasting the same length as the performance/tidal cycle, 12-13 hours), time-lapse and photo documentation, and varied ephemera.
The project examines the temporary nature of all things and our contemporary relationship with water in urban environments — as individuals, as communities, and as a species.
This portfolio piece consists of time-lapse documentation (2 min) followed by an excerpt of the durational video work during high tide (1 hour section of the 12 hours, 6 minutes) made in Kenya.*

Following their 2020 Rebrand, Splice partnered with us again for their first-ever brand campaign “Start with Sound.” Our goal was to recharge Splice’s bond with existing users and broaden awareness for the brand to connect with a whole new wave of musicians.
Behind the scenes.
The Impact:
By tapping into a universal truth, the campaign is built to grow with the company for the foreseeable future.
Tapping into the audiovisual
Of course, a campaign about sound required a thoughtful focus on the sonic side of the creative as well. From bespoke textural soundscapes to intricate samples, we ensured that this campaign wasn’t just a visual experience — but one that could resonate in an audiovisual way.
