Six of One (2004)

Six of One was intended to engage a broad audience in an intimate exchange about violence and the images it generates. In Six of One, participants pose for a photograph with a person who is being bitten by a dog. The stage is set in three rooms which are visually but not audibly separated. In the first room the participant chooses a model and a dog. In the second room, professional photographer Gregg Lansing takes a picture of the threesome and, in the third room, the participant retrieves their portrait. Art students were invited to take candid photographs of action in the studio. They submitted their work to a juried show judged by the artists of Six of One, and mounted in conjunction with a roundtable discussion about the performance. Six of One opened on Election night.



The juried exhibition showed student photographs displayed alongside portraits and triptychs derived from the performance.

This production was a collaboration with Trisha F. Harper, Gregg Lansing and photography students from Arizona State University and Metro Arts High School.
