ABOUT COLLAGE VIVANTE: EARMAN
Terry Braunstein
I have long appreciated artists’ costumes, such as those of Marc Chagall but have never been drawn to the medium myself. When “Marco Schindelmann” and I collaborated in 2019, I created a simple costume About Time. “Marco” called himself a “collage vivante” (living collage), which I loved.
So, when I was approached about another such collaboration, I happily agreed. This incarnation of the Collage Vivante, Earman, was far more complicated and technically challenging. I was concerned about the wind at Angels Gate and wanted the costume to be both comfortable and sturdy. Also, I wanted it to address sound and listening directly, this in contrast to About Time which explored sound’s inverse.
I now feel that this medium has become one of my own and hope to do more collage vivantes in the future.
