Specular Cry
1224 W Loyola Ave, Chicago IL
May 21, 2021 - May 26, 2021
Specular Cry will be projected each evening, on view directly from the street from 7-11 PM. This work debuted at CCDMX as a part of ZONAMACO in Mexico City, and at Excess of Reality as a part of SPRING/BREAK in Los Angeles, both organized by TRANSFER. This installation will be the Chicago debut of Specular Cry.
Coinciding with the project at Roman Susan, Amina is launching specularcry.site, an interactive audio and text transcription of the work, as well as a postcard print-run created in collaboration with Avery Youngblood. If you are not able to visit in person, send us your address – we will send you a postcard in the mail!
