Zierle & Carter - The Treasure House (Final Edit), Marginal Arts Festival 2011, Roanoke, Virginia

The Treasure House Performance for MAF 11 at the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, Virginia. Videography and Editing by Matt Ames of Philosophy INC - http://www.youtube.com/user/phinc

In this site specific piece, Zierle and Carter invite the audience on a journey through the 'Treasure House', asking the audience directly to reflect upon their own treasures, weaving their answers into a rich tapesty of material-led ritualised actions that deliberately yet poetically echo Roanoke's history and the matters from which its foundation are built from.
