Stills From A Film: see//eat

posted on July 26, 2010 by Jason Quincy

Conceived and produced by New York City-based artist Katie Shelly, see//eat belongs to a series of multimedia works chronicling the fictional exploits of two extraplanetary kings during a brief stay on earth. Their narrative is documented across two boroughs in alternating forms spanning video performance and animation, street art forms and photography. In the words of the artist, 'these strange protagonists find opportunity for solace and mediation in unusual spaces across New York City':

"They first appeared in photos that I shot in a remote area of the southern Brooklyn shore, again in a collaged video of psychadelic imagery, and again in drawn form as glittery stickers across the [new york city] subway system."

"Their vibe is mysterious and calm. They're these secretive, otherworldly visitors to Earth that humans have observed and documented, but ultimately cannot understand."
