PARKING LOTUS, 2001

Video installation.
3 channels.
Three projections or three flat screens.

For Parking Lotus, security guards around Los Angeles were asked to meditate in the different parking lots where they work. The piece has two parts: a three-channel video-installation where three guards meditate in the lotus position and begin levitating until they disappear. And a series of eight photos, with the guards meditating cross-legged, which also includes the LASGMM (Los Angeles Security Guard Meditation Movement) manifesto.
