Wayfinding is a short documentary featuring my art. It is the culmination of more than a year of working with filmmaker Bob Sacha. Bob and I met in the summer of 2022 after he visited my MFA thesis show, How to Get Lost: A Manual and a Map, at a Lower East Side gallery in New York City. He had been thinking about the subject of wayfinding long before he encountered my artwork.

 

Bob started filming in the fall, capturing the creation of a single artwork called Fall. He also recorded our wide-ranging talks about wayfinding (and way-losing) relating to family, careers, art, aging, and identity. While filming, we got lost over and over again, literally and figuratively—after taking a wrong turn in the Bronx, when I accidentally ripped my artwork, and after Bob's GoPro camera went AWOL and got run over in a parking lot (watch for recovered video in the film!).

 

We ended up with hundreds of hours of footage, which Bob handed over to the brilliant film editor Kate Emerson. The documentary that emerged explores what it means to get lost and where it can take you. It's about engaging with chaos and uncertainty in art and in life. Wayfinding was accepted into the Tallahassee Film Festival, named a semifinalist in the Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival, and won an Award of Excellence from the One-Reeler Short Film Competition in Los Angeles.
