Suicide Barrier: secure in our illusion is a video installation by Perry Hallinan in collaboration with Ledoh,  that tunes into the challenges of the transitional times in which we live in today. The result is a strange screen-saver of gathered photos and video that presents varied themes of our mis-applied protection/security, cycles of a neighborhood's pulse, industrial boom and busts, and the knots of emotions that bind us in our collective paralysis.   

PERRY HALLINAN: videographer / media artist and performer Perry has worked with the S.F. Butoh company Salt Farm, Mary Sano Duncan Dance and the modern dance company Kunst-Stoff.

LEDOH  is an internationally-renowned multi-media performance artist who has electrified audiences around the globe for over 15 years with his riveting solo and ensemble performances and is the founder/director of Salt Farm.

Hallinan and Ledoh have collaborated on evening length multimedia performances at the Headlands Center for the Arts, SF Asian Art Museum and the luggage store's Tenderloin National Forest/Cohen Alley.  Their most recent collaboration, COLORMEAMERICA, a project of Creative Capital, was presented by the ODC Theater at the Project Artaud Theater and at the 2008 Artserium in Tiblisi, Georgia.

This project is funded  by the San Francisco Arts Commission/Cultural Equity  and supported by the Luggage Store with a month long residency at the Luggage Store Annex at 509 Ellis Street.
