VAGABOND is a project, started in 2015 in Pueblo, New Mexico at Santa Fe Art Institute. Is about the displacement from home among indigenous peoples throughout North America and the condition of disconnection to home immigration places on people. For ILLUMINUS Boston 2017, VAGABOND CITY was a site specific performance in response to Downtown Boston. It was a walking visualization of the past and present. Forest and river imagery was projected onto the moving house form Asuncion wore on a shoulder harnesses. This work imagines to dream what parts of Boston might have looked like before colonization and industrialization, before the land was outfitted with buildings, roads, and monuments. The shadowy performer following behind Asuncion projecting onto the house form, represents the echoing presence that past histories still have on contemporary city life and the present. The live performance took place on November 03 in Downtown Crossing.
