Howard Fried, Long John Servil vs. Long John Silver
Geolocation
Description
Fried, assisted by crutches, wove his way through the gridded streets of San Francisco from sunset to sunrise as the passive yet happy-go-lucky Long John Silver; then, from sunrise to sunset he portrayed the more willful Long John Servil, carrying a fifty-pound sandbag. Fried determined his ricocheting course and the intervals at which he was photographed by a self-generated, complex set of rules cued by architectural features of the city. Silver was less bound by rules – even stopping for beer at one point – while Servil’s path was straighter, suggesting his determination to achieve certain goals. (Lewallen 1995: 124)
