Burden
Site-specifc installation and performance for the Chocolate Factory, NY
The installation serves as a document and composite body.
Performance, Part I:
A cleansing ritual where volunteers lay with me in a bathtub and read letters or testimonials about their personal failures and traumas, seeking to forgive and be forgiven.
Performance, Part II:
Dancer, Kayvon Pourazar and I perform actions inspired by testimony from father and son detainees in Guantanamo.

The space is filled with the drone of a shruti box recording
emitted from the detritus of this sculpture of found objects.
