EYE OF MNEMOSYNE montage! 

Here is a visual montage from the full eight-movement multimedia orchestral work created with visual artist Deborah Johnson and commissioned by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra for its centennial season (performed here by Metropolis Ensemble, conducted by Andrew Cyr.) 

This clip is from Mvt. I: Prelude. 

👁️ EYE OF MNEMOSYNE is a work about American memory, culture, and innovation. It reimagines George Eastman’s advertising invention, the Kodak Girls, through Mnemosyne, the Greek goddess of memory, tracing how Americans captured their lives through photography across eras of labor, leisure, family, nostalgia, war, and memory’s fragmentary nature.

👁️ Created for live performance at Eastman Theatre, where projection, architecture, and orchestra became part of the work.
