Description: This episode involved me recording in a sea of people; I was surrounded by an audience observing Michael's performance while listening to Wendy sing, and then consuming the Paella that Rob made. I recorded Rob preparing, cooking, and delivering the food. I recorded Wendy rehearsing and the staged performance, as well as how the audience responded to the food. The audience became part of the cast of performers in my video. Performance art pieces are so transient and temporary in time that they are only memories without documentation. This episode condenses the three artist performances into one dish that congeals the essence of the event. Too bad my video audience doesn't get to smell or taste the paella!
