StrangeTango.com is a multilayered art installation in cyberspace…the documentation of a life in three iterations: as a film treatment, a book, a blog.
“What remains as documentation of a life?”

Video, reportage, and nonlinear narrative meld in captured moments from the life of A. D. Tejada, artist - traveler - citizen of the world.
Life is a strange tango...

As I recall, a high tech multimillionaire bought a book for a princely sum, but it wasn’t the rare edition you’d expect. It was a farmer’s almanac…a carefully kept journal ocumenting daily life—and an historical era. This level of authenticity captivated the future reader. By the same token, you don’t think this StrangeTango.com entry is [...]
