The city is similar to a film, One in a state of continuous metamorphosis, one in which not only is everything and everyone animated but also incessantly accelerated. Everything passes by and is always in the process of unreeling. Puddles in the City is a series of 5 images depicting a moment in time where street performers are captured when they are no longer performing. The role of the Performer/ Entertainer is indeed fascinating. Taking on a different persona each time, the entertainer is dressed as an Icon and becomes an object of attraction. At the specific moment when they no longer consciously perform, do these entertainers stop becoming representations of icons? Who is the spectator and who the performer? When, or does the performance come to an end?
