brownout is a solo created, directed, and performed by Mariana Valencia that uses a series of movement and sound scores to play with narrative, abstraction, and inference. Generating a visual essay through the “stage” of the camera, shifting the frame from one lens to the next explores changes in electricity, visibility, and perception.
Creator, Director, and Performer: Mariana Valencia
Film Location: Hudson Hall in Hudson, NY and Coxsackie, NY
