Inspired Pedestrians
2016, Digital Video, 3 minutes
Inspired Pedestrians relaxes distinctions between art and life, dance and commuting. It captures a dance of pedestrian traffic on and off the Kansas City Streetcar, newly launched the same month. The video connects visual associations between people as well facial expressions of possible confusion, uneasiness, or possibly mistrust in the communal adventures of public transit.
Commissioned by Art in the Loop “Connect,” an initiative of the Downtown Council of Kansas City, Missouri.
