Dinorah de Jesus Rodriguez at Sleepless Night



Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez will be presenting two moving image installations entitled "o Amor" and "Ephemera" at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden to celebrate Sleepless Night on the evening of November 7, 2009 from about 7pm until daybreak the following morning.

Working with hand-crafted found and recycled film footage, Rodriguez orchestrates transparent realities from fragments of photographs and films.

"O Amor" is a video journey into the subconscious secrets of the Botanical Garden itself. Filmed at this very site, "o Amor" is a giant video projection addressing the cycle of bloom and decay in both the natural environment and the experience of love, looped and screened outdoors through the main window of the Garden's Administrative Offices.

"Ephemera" consists of miniscule transparent images suspended from the branches of the Grand Poinciana tree at the entrance to the Botanical Garden. This 3-D collage will be rendered kinetic by the natural breezes blowing through the outdoor environment, and the projection achieved through the use of spotlights at the base of the tree.

Dancers from Momentum Dance Company will perform an interactive piece in collaboration with this installation, choreographed by Delma Iles. Performance at midnight.
