Crepuscular Rhythms je performans koji nastoji zabilježiti zoru i sumrak kao queer doba dana. S idejom da sumrak pruža zaštitu ne-normativnim tijelima i identitetima, Crepuscular Rhythms izvode se kao grupne šetnje u kojima sudionici nose majice osjetljive na svjetlo. Lou Sheppard poziva sve queer osobe (i druge članove queer zajednice) na zajedničku šetnju Zagrebom u sumrak od Uranie do AKC – Medike. Mjesto okupljanja i polazišna točka šetnje je ispred Uranie gdje će Lou kroz kratki uvod i razgovor uputiti sve sudionike u izvedbu i putanju šetnje. Svaka će osoba dobiti majicu koja je tretirana cijanotipijom – materijom osjetljivom na svjetlo što će u osnovi majice sudionika pretvoriti u fotograme.
Lou Sheppard je kanadski umjetnik čija se interdisciplinarna umjetnička praksa temelji na zvuku, performansu i instalaciji. Sheppardovo umjetničko istraživanje odražava njegovu pozadinu u kritičkoj teoriji i društvenom aktivizmu. Zanimaju ga jezici, kao sustavi notacije i komunikacije, kao i sustavi koji strukturiraju i donose moć. Ugledajući se na autoritativne tekstove kao što su podaci o okolišu, dijagnostički kriteriji, vladina politika i rječničke definicije, njegov rad pokušava te sustave i strukture moći učiniti čitljivima. Koristeći procese metafore, prijevoda, semiotičkog pomicanja i pažljivog čitanja, njegov rad je prikazan kroz pisane, grafičke i vizualne partiture. Izvedba ovih partitura često ga dovodi do suradnje sa zajednicama i drugim umjetnicima, uključujući glazbenike, vizualne umjetnike i izvođače.

Crepuscular Rhythms is a performance score that notates dawn and dusk as queer times of day. Recognizing that twilight provides protective cover for non normative bodies and identities in our environment, Crepuscular Rhythms was originally performed as a series of walks while wearing light sensitized T-Shirts. For this iteration viewers will be invited to join me at dusk at a point somewhere approximately 1 hour’s walk from an endpoint space. Everyone will be given a light sensitized T-shirt and we will walk for the duration of dusk (approximately 1 hour) to the endpoint space. The idea is to gather with a group of other queer people (and extended queer community members) and walk through the city at dusk, right after sunset, claiming dusk as a queer time of day. Each person will be given a t-shirt that has been treated with cyanotype- a light sensitive process that basically turns the tshirt into a photogram.
Lou Sheppard is a Canadian artist working in interdisciplinary audio, performance and installation based practice. Sheppard’s artistic research reflects his background in critical theory and social activism. He is interested in languages, both as systems of notation and communication, as well as systems that structure and enact power. By looking to authoritative texts like environmental data, diagnostic criteria, government policy, and dictionary definitions, his work attempts to make these systems and structures of power legible. Using processes of metaphor, translation, semiotic shifting, and close reading, his work is evidenced through written, graphic and visual scores. The performance of these scores often leads him to collaborate with communities and with other artists, including musicians, visual artists and performing artists.
