Michael Smith

I recently collaborated with internationally-recognized performance artist Michael Smith on his Fountain of Youth video installations. The installation consists of two projections and a printed image. The projections were shot in full-frame 5k on the Red Epic camera against a green screen and composited in post.

The project premiered at the Dallas Biennial and is now showing in Berlin, Germany.

About Michael Smith: (From Wikipedia) He is best known for his performance persona named Mike, the central figure in an ongoing series of narrative projects. Mike, an innocent character who continually falls victim to trends and fashions and his own naive ambitions, allows Smith to comment on discrepancies and absurdities in American culture while creating an unsettling and poignant mixture of humor and pathos.
