Video collaboration by Daniel Zajicek and Hsiao-Lan Wang
Actors: Chris Walczak, Mindy Chen

It has always been our desire to create a semi-narrative video work involving actors. Using this as the foundation, we decided on a story involving two actors, told through a series of sonic and visual scenes.

During our time at the University of North Texas, we both had the opportunity to work closely with Phil Winsor. In addition to his generosity, his teaching and video works have remained an inspiring force for both of us. Houston Duet commemorates that inspiration, and the open-minded spirit that Phil instilled in all of his students. This work has been created specifically to celebrate his contribution at UNT for the occasion of his retrospective concert in November 2011.
