'run 002' starring Willem Dafoe by Savanah Leaf is now on display at SFMOMA from October 19, 2024 through February 18, 2025. It is installed in a loop with 'run.' This one is especially meaningful to me. SFMOMA was my hometown museum growing up. Feel so excited for these pieces by Savanah to exhibit and am fortunate and proud to photograph and help bring them into the world. Very grateful for the fantastic cast and crew that made this a reality. 'run 002' single channel video, transferred from 35mm, color, sound, 9 min., 40 sec.
