NEW YORK PAUSE… is a tracking of one quarantine routine in this city of constantly evolving culture abruptly frozen. Weeks are spent viewing layers of urban history from the distance of the high-rise apartment building roof, apartment windows and long walks through the uncanny city. Inside the apartment, hours of compulsive reading about the arts present but closed or cancelled fail to compensate for missing highly valued experiences of city life. The close dialogue between Horowitz’s black & white images and Jason Moran’s jazz creates a very personal view of New York under quarantine, highlighting the strength and beauty of the city as a live theatre set.
