The Roosevelt Highway is created by sampling and processing video footage of choreographed dancers. This technique envelops torsos, arms, and heads in a cinematic black void, generating an atmosphere of suspended animation. The synchronized movement of the figures' legs forms a kaleidoscopic dance, suggesting a continuous state between drowning and breath, sleep and wakefulness, and hope and dread. This large-scale projection, measuring 5 by 4 meters, displays its imagery on two-layered sheer fabric screens. The title, The Roosevelt Highway, refers to the California roadway where Busby Berkeley, the renowned choreographer of 1930s Hollywood musicals, was involved in a tragic car accident that resulted in two fatalities. Berkeley’s iconic water dance sequence in the 1935 film Gold Diggers provided the initial inspiration, linking the choreography and tension of the piece to this historical context.
