Red Zone, Elsewhere

Installed at the Elsewhere Museum in Greensboro, NC, The Red Zone was created in October- December of 2020. A time in which safety was (and still is) arbitrary. Red is a color associated with risk taking, it is the color used on maps to mark where COVID-19 cases are surging, so it is the color of greatest danger. For my current pod family, the Shelter Elsewhere Fellows; Kinari Council, Christian Lee, Thea Cohen, Avery Rose, Kelsey Sharpe, and Ash Batista, The Red Zone within our museum home provides bold camouflage to create a sense of shelter and familiarity within danger.  Hiding in plain sight, each moving portrait is unique to the person. Each red environment, a new configuration of objects, a labor of love and an offering to them, an act of care to help them find comfort in the Red Zone.
