Before the Atomic Stone Age

This is a composite of video images from "Passion Vortex"
Corinna's  production at the Angel Orensanz Foundation
on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in June of 1996.
(Sorry it is so blurry.  I was working with probably a 4th generation VHS tape.)

The thing about this performance stuff in NYC is that
$   $   $   There's no money in it.   $  $  $
Or at least there's none that I've ever seen.
When Corinna first came over to my place to show me her video,
she came straight from her job doing some apparently nasty renovations
in the re-floated and resurrected as performance ship the Frying Pan.
She was filthy with rust scale, grease god knows what else.
I would have had to put a tarp down to let her sit on my couch.
She works hard to get her vision out there.
The video impressed me with her creative costumes and production design.
  She is able to evoke a complete alien landscape with
costumes and props made mostly of dumpster refuse and ingenuity.
