PERRY HOBERMAN — Fault/Fold/Fragment
Nov 8, 5:30pm-6:30pm
BoxoPROJECTS, 62732 Sullivan Rd, Joshua Tree, CA 92252

Fault/Fold/Fragment is a visual and aural spectacle illuminating the surrounding boulders with real-time, computer generated, stereoscopic projections. The rocks will become both the backdrop and the protagonists in a drama that evokes the deep past (such as when the entire region was underwater), the lived present (the silent grandeur of the desert), and the distant future (with or without human presence). Imagery suggesting vastly disparate scales of space (from the microscopic to the cosmic) and of time (from moments to millennia) will animate the rocks, evoking stasis as well as sudden upheavals like floods and earthquakes. The projections are accompanied by live music featuring some of the area’s most innovative musicians.
