This activation of the outdoor LED screen at BAMPFA with Shimon Attie’s film is one of the land based exhibits programmed during the summer months of 2021, leading up to the September 17,18, 19 Bay Area premiere of Night Watch. It is free.

From September 16 through October 31, 2021. BAMPFA will present Night Watch as part of their On the Hour series, with Shimon Attie’s video on the Outdoor Screen at the top of the hour during daylight hours from September 16 through October 31, 2021.

“For Night Watch, I created a floating media Installation that circulated in the waterways around New York City during the Fall of 2018 … Displayed on the screen were silent close-up video portraits of 12 New Yorkers whose lives have been saved by recently being granted political asylum in the US.”
