THE MOVE (2021)

THIS PROJECT grew OUT OF OUR I-MIGRANT SERIES BUT ALSO IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, IN WHICH OUR INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE MOVEMENTS WERE RESTRICTED AND RESULTED IN A LONGING FOR PHYSICAL MOVEMENT AND CONNECTION TO OTHERS.

“THE MOVE” RELATES TO SOMETHING A SINGLE BODY MAY PHYSICALLY DO, BUT ALSO A GREATER MOVEMENT, SUCH AS A PERSONAL DECISION TO MAKE A CHANGE, OR A GREATER COLLECTIVE/SOCIETAL DECISION. IN THE LATTER, WE RECOGNIZE THERE IS MUCH TO RESPOND TO TODAY - THE WORLD, OUR COUNTRY, DIVERSE COMMUNITIES, THE UNDERSERVED AND INDIVIDUALS COMING OUT OF TRYING TIMES... ALL NEED POSITIVE ACTION/INSPIRATION. "THE MOVE" GROWS OUT OF A TIME OF TRANSITION AND CONSIDERS LOSS AND REBIRTH INTO SOMETHING NEW. “THE MOVE” IS BOTH ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE COLLECTIVE.

The content for The Move was captured as part of a 3214 kilometer trip from Lubbock, Texas to Vancouver, Canada. We shot in the following locations: Lubbock, Texas: 1204 Broadway, Terry Allen's Stubb's Memorial Park. Santa Fe, New Mexico. Canyonlands, Utah: Redd Ranch Salt Lake City, Utah. Vancouver, Canada: Stanley Park.

The Film was edited by video artist: Conor Provenzano. Costumes by Mallory Prucha. Text by Amie Tullius.
