1001 DREAMS OF OCCUPATION
Opa-Locka, Florida
January 01, 2012
Video shot on location in Opa-Locka Florida, at the old train station which is in Moorish revival architectural style for my solo show 1001 DREAMS OF OCCUPATION at Dorsch Gallery, Miami. The City Hall was actually a movie set from Arabian Nights (1001 Nights) from 1926. The music is from Ravel's Bolero serves as a banal and stereotypical background to the exotic conceptual location as the lonely occupier tries to reach out for "Others" to occupy him. He (the occupier) wants his melancholic state of mind to be occupied.
