Sarah Cameron Sunde

in collaboration with Nathan Kensinger and Rockaway Youth Task Force with support from Beach64Retreat

At high tide during the full moon in May, as Jamaica Bay spills into the streets in Far Rockaway, Sunde and local collaborators will stand in the streets with the rising water. Constituents and Mayoral Candidates are invited to join in and bear witness to the encroaching edge. The performance will be filmed and shown for all New Yorkers’ to see this monthly flooding. 

This work is an extension and research-based part of Sunde's large-scale series of site-specific performances and video artworks, 36.5 / A Durational Performance with the Sea, 2013 - present, which will culminate at the Cove at Socrates Sculpture Park in 2022.
