About the work: Counterweight on Tower Top  was created July, 2024 during an abundant residency for Helen Wicks Works at Project Artaud's Space 124. The work uses a counterweight pulley system designed by Dave Freitag. Filmmakers Clio Gevirtz and Sebastian Kleppe traded between being in harness as the counterweight to Helen's aerial choreography and behind the camera.  Clio Gevirtz edited the footage into a vibrant visual movement composition for the SF/Bay Area skyline.  This Gevirtz-Wicks production explores contrast, speed, shape, and color while offering luminous perspectives on gravity and scale.  This work was commissioned by Jim Campbell Studios:  https://sf-towertopart.com/  Thanks to all who have engaged and supported numerous new works this summer! We are excited to continue to create accessible and medicinal art.  Support Wicks Works  A tax-deductible donation goes directly to artists and production costs to create performance for multigenerational and diverse audiences.  Thanks for being part of the Wicks Works community!  Take care and reach out with any questions, Helen  All photos in this email are stills from Counterweight on Tower Top
