Dream City

Ulysses Jenkins composed "Dream City" from documentation of a twenty-four-hour performance he organized in collaboration with David Hammons, Maren Hassinger, and Senga Nengudi. A discordant, absurdist, and poetic montage, the video weaves together jazz and punk shows, recitations by Jenkins, and shots of the Los Angeles skyline and oil wells to comment on power and nation in the early years of Ronald Reagan's presidency.

This is a documentary of David Hammons prior to his leaving the Los Angeles arts community. This video covers the artist's creative strategies at that time. It served as both an interview and video performance by David Hammons.
