Rather wonderful piece from Shawn Kornhauser & Brandon Joyce
who seem to exist in a strange crevice between real Philadelphia & well…some other one.
The layers of japes & spoofery multiply exponentially but something near the truth,
whatever that is, can be found here, here &
here.
I think.

“Yogin is a 3 minute short animation I created for my MFA thesis.
I am responsible for everything but the musical score.
It is the story of a brash young yogi challenging an old master to
a yoga battle. The egotistical challenger thinks he has what is
necessary to take on the master however he fails to realize there
is more to yoga then physical postures.”

Those living in the Santa Monica area might have seen his installation
‘embedded’ (also including work by filmmaker Leslie Thornton)
at the Track 16 gallery in 2006.
