PERFORMANCE

Schmidlapp’s photo performances evolved out of his photo pages in the late 70′s. He would publicly staged photographs which in turn became compelling slide shows and kinetic environments in a vibrant downtown NYC club scene. For the next three decades Schmidlapp continued to build a body of photography as he created installations, light shows and performasnces in countless international venues. Many of his performances have included his life-long collaborator, the composer, avant-garde violinist, Walter Steding.

Schmidlapp is assembling a four dvd box set of his photo performances.
