A Portrait (of a building),
A video installation by Marco Fedele di Catrano and Ryan Hollaway, Hangar, Lisbon, 2021
A Portrait (of a building)
A Portrait (of a building) is a video work made by Marco Fedele di Catrano (IT) and Ryan Hollaway (USA) within the spaces of Hangar during their stay at the Lisbon artists’ residency. The four hands’ work portrays Ryan moving his body within the building. The camera follows the friction, interaction and adaptation of the moving body in the architecture. Through multiple images both the body and the building align in creating one image. The movement of Ryan’s dance questions the fixed lines of the building while inspecting a principle of dynamism. An osmotic exchange between the body and the building occurs.

A zine I created for Zinefest Houston. Holds a collection of images and journals Iv’e taken over the lost multiple years.
This is a performance I did for the Blaffer museum. This piece, represents being isolated as a person of color in thought and body. As if the media and situations happening throughout social justice in America. Being so afraid to go out in the world because you may not think it wasn't created for you. I want the viewer to make their own interpretations from the piece as well it goes hand in hand with being in quarantine as many of us has been experiencing. I also want the viewer to listen to the music with their eyes closed and imagine all the names in the media they've seen and heard and the unheard.
In their first collaboration, Post Trance Tea Ceremony and Isabella Vik with Bethany Logan present an explorative work with improvisational sound and movement. The piece, “Missed Connections” explores movement while desensitizing their sight. The piece is a display of lost translations and missed connections through movement. As emotional creatures, we strive to have connections to others often through relatable experience or shared trauma, but what we feel and think about our experiences are unique to one another. This piece centers on trying to communicate intuitively to find relationships. Post Trance Tea Ceremony will be performing live improvisational sound enhancing the experience with their own non-verbal communication to the movement artists.
