I venture at night into the marginal geographies of the city and perform peculiar ceremonies with light, hoping to bring back images that appeal to some deep sense of the mysterious. ?Journey to Q?xtlan? is a journey, an opera, and a koan that presents some of the results of this research. It?s a kind of dream.

Peter Rose?s works in film, video, installation, and performance have received extensive national and international exhibition, including shows at the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Yokohama Museum of Art, the Fabric Workshop and Museum, the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Rose is concerned with new forms of vision, the structures of language, and the pleasures of obscure journeys. His work is included in several major international collections.
