SUSTAIN ME /// THIS IS A MESSAGE

Sustain Me was a collective formed during the spring of 2007. The objective was to cultivate a public interest in our connection to natural ecosystems. We proposed an interactive website to house short animations, images of public installations, an image library and music videos. In this music video, five sets of dancing legs in pink tights combine to form a sea anemone. The lyrics to Auvoire Simone’s Hurricanes are changed to form a new message, encouraging walking as an alternative to driving.

*** This work was created by the creative collective Sustain Me: Mary Banas, Julia Gualtieri, Lauren Mackler, Melissa Small and myself.
