I guess we take our high Modernism wherever we can find it. It doesn't look like anyone actually uses that footpath. I'm glad you found a purpose for it. Nice video.

A couple months ago I made a performance video where I was doing log rolls down Santa Monica Blvd. I was originially interested in how my performance was sort of in a dialouge with the goofy public sculpture on this part of Santa Monica. After looking at these dance images I began to think of the sculptures as theatrical props. Like cheesy versions of high-modern theatrical sets.

The top ones seem influenced by early "horizontal" Giacometti and that foreground statue in the bottom image is very Tanguy (but also Giacometti-like in its obvious sexuality). The middle one is maybe the most "Noguchi"--those pedestal-like forms could be a collection of individual later pieces of his. Nice.
