creative mayhem at the leftbank

one saturday morning a few months back multimedia artist seth nehil conducted a work session in the bomb shelter of the leftbank. It’s an accoustically potent space — walls, floor and ceiling all concrete — and one that he had sought out after hearing about some time earlier. That morning he and a dozen collaborators descended to make recordings to be used in a future performance piece. For a few eerie hours the sounds drifted throughout, echoes of echoes bathing the old walls with fresh spirit… call it a glimpse of what’s to come. By kind coincidence, writer/photographer johnathon allen happened to also be in the building for an unrelated shoot, and was able to capture this quick video (just surfaced a few days ago).
