ABOUT THE PROJECT
Led by media artist Ian Winters, Summer, Winter, Spring is a film and video installation in three movements which explores the radically varying physical rhythms and seasons of San Francisco’s UN Plaza and mid-Market street corridor. Through a series of time-lapse performance interventions and music score created from the sounds of Market St created by sound artist Evelyn Ficarra it explores both the ongoing cycles of the city and landscape, and witnesses the deeply contested and complex public space of Civic Center/UN Plaza — embodying many of the fault lines running through our current social, economic and political landscape.
In addition to Winters, other key artists and collaborators include choreographers Daiane Lopes da Silva (Kinetech Arts), paige starling sorvillo (blindsight), Mary Armentrout (Milkbar) and composers Heather Frasch and Evelyn Ficarra along with live percussion by Suki O’Kane and additional performance by Norman Gee, plus many guest performers in the films.
