In Rob Ring’s video piece, Ultrahustle Dance Party, the artist dances to the 70’s classic, “Do the Hustle”, playing on repeat for an entire hour in his basement.
In response to Ring’s video, I filmed my mom preforming a similar endurance task to a disco song from her past; the rules were adjusted towards her physical ability.
Hi Alex, I still like this original footage, and the feat you asked your mom to perform is definitely entertaining and surprising without playing with the effects, framing, or timing. If you ever re-make it – I’d consider the lighting and background a bit more, though I think your performer should still express her own style/outfit and “mom”ness in her own way. It’s got some tension in it, and a gentle sense of humour.
