La Bella Luna

A quilted and colorful tent provides performance space for one karaoke performer to sing a song selected from a large playlist dedicated to songs with lyrics about the moon.  A live feed capture of the singer’s face is projected onto a balloon floating above the tent.

About Anne Herlihy

Anne Herlihy’s artwork explores portraiture and its various interpretations.  She explores both the manner in which individuals portray themselves, as well as how they are portrayed by artists and the media. Her work concerns the ways in which controlling this narrative can alter our perception.
Her upcoming project for Glow, called “Bella Luna”, will extend the idea of portraiture into an interactive realm.  In a site-specific installation visitors will become portraits through an interactive projection piece involving songs that celebrate the moon and individual expression.   Portraiture becomes performance and it is the Glow audience that provides both the subjects for the portraits as well as the viewers for the portrait.  Anne lives in Santa Monica, California and New York, NY.
