Fall NYC compiles glimpses of an autumnal New York City. Writes artist Whitney Claflin: “In Maggie’s videos, documentary and fantasy play b2b sets—the mundane is transformed into the magical almost immediately, only to have the next frame bring an action right back into its earthly setting. In Fall NYC, sound swerves across the scene as Maggie carries us with her around town. Blips of upbeat dance music ride over the visuals, woven un-Shazaamably with spoken words.” [Overview Courtesy of Electronic Arts Intermix]
