Praxis 'Forget Me Not' Interactive Promotion

Song used is 'The Ugly and the Beautiful' by The Real Tuesday Weld
I created this interactive trailer for the art group Praxis to promote their piece 'Forget Me Not' which was performed at NYC's P.S. 21 in 2006.  'Forget Me Not' was a performance art piece centered around the couple's experience of living with the artist's mother, who was suffering from cancer, through her final days. 
The group left the assignment very open ended, only specifying that the trailer should involve "love, sex, drugs, hugs, and death".  I did my best to work within those parameters, integrating photographs from prior performances, and sought to create something that was both celebratory and somber.  It was an interesting challenge of tone, striking a cord that was both joyous and respectful, but the group was quite pleased with the finished product which accompanied all of the performance invitations.
