diegetic. as witnessed – Ice from Niknaz Tavakolian on Vimeo.

Ice is a dancer–he showed me some more moves that I unfortunately didn’t get as well as I’d dreamed on my little camera. He moved to Harlem from Brooklyn 5 years ago. Although he hasn’t lived here for a generation, I think he has a lot of interesting insights, especially about who’s pushing out the small, local, independent stores.
