Berlin Wall

As a kid, in 1988, I went to Berlin and saw how it divided the city. Less than a year later, the wall came down. This is where the Berlin Wall used to be.

Washington DC. That space is filled with private residencies, private
businesses, museums, military & facilities for the local and federal government. The space left over is free-space.

The beginning and end of the Mississippi River

I followed the Mississippi River from the source at Lake Itasca Minnesota, to the Gulf of Mexico at Louisiana. Diving from end to end, crossing every bridge along the way, and staying as close to the river as possible while in public space, I delivered one gallon of water from the begining to the end.

Lana's Walk

Lana Cmajcanin lived in Sarajevo during the siege of the city from 1992 to 1996. This walk represents the space she was confined to during that time.

sniper alley.mov.temp

One of the main roads running through Sarajevo is nicknamed "Sniper Alley" during the Bosnian war because the Serbian/Chetnik snipers had that street covered, and anybody seen walking on that street would be shot at.

I transposed the location of Sniper Alley onto a map of Washington DC, and we filmed walks down the Sniper Alley in Sarajevo and a walk down the transposed Washington "Sniper Alley" and edited them together.

This video was made in conjunction with:

Mostar - Bosnian/Croatian

Mostar is a divided city. One side is predominately Bosnian and the other Croatian. The Boulevard divides the city ethnically, socially, and polotically.

68 Square Miles, 68 Walks, 68 Lines

There are 68 square miles of land in Washington DC. I gridded the city map into square miles based on the historic survey and mile markers, and I walked to every square mile. When I arrived at each mile, I spent at least an hour drifting around, before I walked home.

Each one of these lines is a path I took to walk every square mile in the city

For decades the image of Lenin stood as a symbol of Communism, and the political reach of the Soviet Union. Since the Fall of the Soviet Union Lenin Statues all over the world have been destroyed. Of the remaining Lenin Statues, these are the northern and southern most Lenins.

Radioactive Lenin

There were 1320 Lenin Statues in Ukraine at the fall of the Soviet Union. This is the last one standing and is located inside the village of Chernobyl, and within the Chernobyl Disaster Exclusion Zone. It will be dangerously radioactive for thousands of years.

This was one of the 1320 Lenin Statues standing in Ukraine at the fall of the Soviet Union that was ordered to be torn down by the government. Located within the courtyard of a factory in an industrial part of Odessa, this Lenin escaped its fate and was turned into a convincing Darth Vader statue by artist Alex Milov.

In 1997 I took $500 in singles and printed text on them. I then put them back in circulation.

Since then I have done this three more times, totaling $1200.

There are seven bridges in Budapest that cross the Danube River. This is a record of crossing all seven in one long day.

Intersecting the The Mason Dixon Line

Mason-Dixon line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon. At the time of the survey, it was the longest straight line ever recorded, and thus the longest drawing in the world. I drove to the beginning of the line on the Southwestern Maryland and Delaware border and crossed the line on every public road from beginning to end. There were 270 roads that crossed, and I filmed each crossing.
