The video I am working as a Final Project is a performance that came 
out of the Video assignment: these DO NOT CROSS lines that I've started 
to record since I came to NYC and that I see as "evanescent 
installations": a dialog between the rigidity of urban space and the 
fluidity of urban life; a game between order and disorder; an 
interaction between geometric and organic lines.  
One day, while I
 was recording some of these installations I saw a child who was 
carrying one of these 'lines'. He was playing with it while following 
her mother, who at one point asked him to stop that game.
This situation, together with the Francis Alÿs video Reel/Unreel (2011) I recently saw, made me think in doing this piece. November 25th, together with Salvador, my nine-years-old neighbor, we walk the Greenpoint streets with a DO NOT CROSS line we have founded. 
Here you can see the video. However it is a mute version, since I'm still working on the sound.

I loved this and since it was in Brooklyn...I adored it
