A 12-hour performative walk with ritualistic and contextual stops every hour. The walk is born out of an intention to manifest regeneration in the wake of crises through active embodied listening to lands.
The artist is wearing a long black skirt, a versatile
garment that morphs with each stop. As the walk progresses, the garment
evolves, taking on multiple roles: a sail harnessing the wind, a cover
providing shelter, a bed for rest, a fishing net for sustenance, a canvas for
expression, a parachute—a life-saving device. With each iteration, the skirt
absorbs the power and significance of its function, becoming a repository of
accumulated meanings. It serves as a vessel for renewal and illustrates the act
of continuous becoming.
The performance shows the trust we place in mechanisms
of safety and survival and trust in the potential for healing and regeneration.
