THE KIDS is an ongoing film, performance, and installation work following four caryatid figures living inside New York City.
Part myth, part street play, part group hallucination, the work moves through friendship, work, love, and the impossible task of growing up while the world keeps insisting it’s ending.
DEAD PHONE. BUT THERE ARE KNOBS THAT CLICK JUST RIGHT.
LITTLE GROOVES FOR THUMBS.
TIGHT SEAMS THAT ONLY OPEN WHEN YOU FORCE THEM.
IT REMEMBERS WHO HESITATED.
THE POINT IS COMMITMENT —
THE PARTS ONLY FIT WHEN YOU MEAN IT.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SHOVE,
OR TWIST,
OR BRUISE IT OPEN.
WHEN FOUR PEOPLE PLAY AT ONCE,
THE AIR CHANGES.
