Eros
Thanatos is an installation by artist Erika Harrsch, with sound design by
Edmund Mooney, for which we traveled to Michuacan, Mexico to capture the
sights and sounds of the monarch butterfly migration. We spent 3 days in
the most beucolic setting capturing audio, video and still photography
of the butterflys. We then used this amazing material, along with Erika's
concept for the piece, to make
a multi-layered installation at Diverse Works Gallery in Houston Texas.
The piece has since traveled to Galeria Leme in Sao Poalo Brazil, The 5th
Seoul International Media Art Biennale, a solo exhibition at the Musée
de la Photographie a Charleroi, Belgium and work inspired by it has traveled
all over Europe with the multi-disciplinary classical performance group
Vision into Art.
