In this week’s Feedback column, I wrote about a young artist named Anthony Restivo who will spend 22 days living inside the Bridge and working on a performance art piece called "Far Off and All Aflame: Pushing Against The Real." The project was underway as of Friday, so we dispatched videographer Gary Canino to give those who haven’t made it over a look at Restivo’s unusual setup.
Read more about the piece here. Visit Restivo from sunrise to sunset at The Bridge between now and February 26.
“Bringing an observer out of their day-to-day existence and into a space just odd enough to disarm them will, I hope, provide the possibility for a more honest interaction than what would otherwise be possible,” Restivo told me last week. “People are constantly worried about social expectations, conceptions of themselves and others…This space is meant to shake those things loose and allow the observer to share something real.”
