My friend and colleague Bea Camacho gave a performance at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. It took her around 8 hours on Thursday to knit the bottom part of her cocoon and another 3 hours on Saturday to finish it and to completely enclosed herself. I was amazed by the focus and determination. The result was a beautiful, yet thought-provoking performance. Bea is from the Philippines but lives and works in Shanghai. I used a Leica M9 and a Leica M240 for the photos. Since it was not much light in the gallery the M240 images allowed me to better capture the darker tones.
This looks like just what I want. I need to learn to crochet.
