“What do you tell yourself when you face adversity?” Elizabeth Turk asked residents of a 31-acre community that she used as her canvas and its 500 residents and staff members as her medium in her latest moving art installation. Residents prepared handwritten responses such as “Be brave,” “I am a warrior” and “Breathe,” that will be incorporated into Ms. Turk’s final multimedia artwork, entitled “Project: Look Up.”
Project: Look Up was modeled after her 2018 Shoreline Project that brought together 1,000 volunteer performers at Laguna Beach at twilight, equipped with specially designed, illuminated umbrellas where they meandered in both spontaneous and choreographed movement. Shoreline Project created a shared common experience amongst the performers and an engaging spectacle for thousands of viewers from the surrounding cliffs and buildings.
