Performance art at the Lumen video and performance festival, held amidst piles of salt in Staten Island

---

Allen Moon Partnership attempts to move a mountain of salt in his performance piece, representing a failed expression of masculinity, during the Lumen video and performance festival, held amidst piles of salt, used to prevent freezing on roads during winter storms, at Atlantic Salt Inc. in the New York borough of Staten Island on Saturday, June 23, 2012. The yearly free festival presents performance art and video in an industrial space on Staten Island. Because of an unusually mild winter Atlantic Salt has an over abundance in their inventory of salt creating a surreal landscape for the performers. (© Richard B. Levine)
