by Dutch-Filipino artist Martha Atienza, as part of Times Square Arts’ celebrated Midnight Moment series. Screened nightly throughout July 2024, from 11:57 pm to midnight, the acclaimed video work—which takes the form of a dreamlike underwater rendition of a parade originating from the artist’s native Philippines—illuminates the artist’s practice which documents and interrogates pressing issues surrounding both community and the environment.
The exact coordinates for the dreamlike underwater procession were chosen by the divers themselves according to the tide, current, and time of day. As they trudge across the seabed, Atie1nza’s cast of characters and choice of setting not only present a critical and humorous take on society and culture in the Philippines, but also allude to the threat of climate collapse to which Southeast Asia is increasingly exposed.
