Woman Walker

2013-04-05
Like last year, today was the fun Edible Book Festival at the UCLA Library. I took photos, but I'm not choosing any as my photo of the day. Instead, what you're seeing here is a performance of Trisha Brown's Man Walking Down the Side of a Building, which in this case was performed by a woman - Amelia Rudolph.
Obviously it was neat to see someone lowered down the side of the building, but the way she appeared to be casually walking in slow motion was really something. You could tell by her face when she reached the bottom that it was no easy feat, although she made it look easy. I also liked the crowd in front that was all laying on the grass looking up at her. Not a bad turnout for a Friday afternoon, but then again, how often do you get a chance to see something like this?

[last year] pretty rainbow fish...
