Our storied collaboration with photographer Alex Marks continues, with these Polaroids from a rehearsal of This Clement World by Cynthia Hopkins, which she performed this past weekend as part of Carbon 13. This Clement World addresses our global climate crisis, and was commissioned by Les Subsistances in Lyon, France where it will premiere this November; St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY where it will have its US premiere in February 2013; and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN where it will be presented in March 2013. We felt lucky to be a part of the process. –NI
