Pause

165_public_web_image.jpg Pause is a flashmob related performance that takes place during the Conflux Festival in New York.

On each day of the festival, a group of 30+ participants will gather in public space to pause together at a predetermined location.

Upon receiving an SMS, all participants will freeze simultaneously and will remain frozen for five minutes. Upon receiving a second SMS, participants will unfreeze and go on with the rest of the day, resuming life as usual.

Pause plays with the speed and ceaseless movements of the city. The performance is conceived and conducted by: Toby Lee and Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga.
