Southernmost Situations presents Redacted Love, a hybrid interactive performance and installation consisting of re-contextualized government surveillance material. Redacted Love is both a tale of teen romance and an imaginative speculation into the past set in early 1990s Miami during the tail end of America’s "War on Drugs." Using interpretive performance, original audio, appropriated video, and slide photography, it tells the story of the son of an alleged drug dealer and his girlfriend as they attempt to navigate a turbulent existence in subtropical environments and dreamlike adolescence.
Analog and digital media collide. The entire set will be lit by several overhead, slide, and LCD projectors. Redacted Love will occupy the entirety of Emerson Dorsch Gallery with an immersive media installation and performance as part of thisishappening, a multidisciplinary series dedicated to exploring the critical roles of experience and accessibility in contemporary art practice and reception.
Redacted Love is an ongoing collaborative project including contributions from Liz Ferrer, Kevin Arrow, Barron Sherer, Romulo Del Castillo, Stefanie Del Papa, Tara Long, and Misael Soto.
Born out of a spontaneous trip to Key West, Southernmost Situations is a Miami-based social catalyst and experimental platform that blurs the boundaries between contemporary art, performance, and the traditional curatorial model.
