audio recording for North West Film Forum installation
Seattle, WA – Throughout the month of December, the Northwest Film Forum (1515 12th Ave in Capitol Hill) hosts a sound installation entitled Interview Me (excerpt) by artists Curry + Dillon. In July 2010 in an empty office space on Capitol Hill, Curry + Dillon interviewed about a dozen strangers (and a few friends) who answered an anonymous ad. All interviewees were asked the same question and given a time constraint. Interview Me (excerpt) is installed in the two bathrooms at the Film Forum and presents the interviewees’ unedited responses.
