Mexico Picnics


PICNIC (with Heidi Sopinka and Natalie Matutchovsky, 2009) was a series of photographs and costumed picnic performances held in locations near to the Mexico City residence of Leonora Carrington, the oldest living Surrealist. Each creative gesture incorporated elaborate iconography from Carrington’s paintings and writings in an attempt to confront our own mythless culture.
