The subject is one of crossing at the physical point of death, and how it might coincide with what follows. A live male chorus performed an original piece of solemn, but secular music in a dimly lit space. The open echoic space mimicked a cathedral without the religious trappings. An impression of the immense was conveyed by empty white walls and a ceiling that disappears into darkness. There was only one image, an oversized Montana landscape containing a humble road cross; and one object, a set of performance risers along the back wall. The performance occurred only once, and was followed by empty space and the recorded echo of the chorus' performance. Written by
