Bleach Yr Old Sox (Comiskey Park Revisited)

Overview

I've always been interested in recording Chicago's history, particularly its offbeat and unofficial aspects. In a way, I consider myself a renegade home movie maker for the city. This piece focuses on Sox Park and my memories of it, which go way back. I've been documenting these moments for at least 25, maybe even 30 years—longer than I initially realized. I'm not entirely sure why I feel compelled to record these events, but I believe they represent an intriguing and unique history of the city. It's a history you wouldn't typically hear about or know unless someone like me took the time to document it.
