Mermaids


Join me at the Mermaid Parade this weekend, Saturday, June 20th for Mermaids and frolicking. I will be doing in some fashion my Living Photo Booth project for the Mermaid Parade - at the start of the parade this year, instead of at the Ball. You can get your picture taken BEFORE you go through the hot sun and all your make up melts off! Hooray! I will be posting photos for the benefit we do every year for Coney Island USA, and the Coney Island Museum. This will be my 5th year running of mermaid photos, so see you there! As always, I am honored to be a part of this community, and to document these historic times.

Copilandia

My Copyright video piece from 1995, where I copyrighted my body, was shown on a barge exhibit in Spain. I recently reshot the piece and made the final version in split screen. The updated piece was shown again in Spain as part of the moving boat exhibit "Copilandia", a Gratis project through the Sevilla Entre Culturas Festival, Centro de Arte de Sevilla in Spain. Thanks to Kirby Gookin and Robin Kahn for including me in the exhibit!
