The Wailing Stall

Glimpses of a five-hour performance during ArtRages.

On November 22 2003, Natalie Loveless performed a work as part of a large-scale art and music fundraiser called "ArtRages," put on by an independent arts organization called Mobius in Boston. The performance was a serious test of endurance: for 5 hours that night, she stood fully clothed in a shower stall, with cold water dripping on her, singing the "Star Spangled Banner" over and over again with occasional jazzy embellishments. I had my camera with me, so I shot some "guerilla video," as she calls it, to immortalize the performance.
