Goooood morning, SuperForest!
A few weekends back the incredible Michelle Bonfils called me and asked if I’d like to go to and check out the Figment Festival on Governors Island. I couldn’t say no. I really love islands.
The idea behind Figment was a FREE two day arts and culture fiesta on lovely Governors Island off of the southern tip of Manhattan, with an enviro-sustaino-vibe, and anyone could bring anything they wanted, set up a display of their very own, just do their thing. It was great!
I shot this video with my flip, and I didn’t edit it at all, I just assembled the clips I’d shot in the order I shot them with no trimming whatsoever. Watching all the pieces in place, I really liked the nice, quiet tempo, like indie cinema, and so here we go:
Figment was fab. I’m excited for next year!
For more info, here’s the Figment site.
Here’s greendiary.com’s run down of some of the recycled art pieces displayed.
