Sky Water

 

sky • body • water • fall (天 • 体 • 水 • 落) 1/2 of two channel piece in collaboration with Yidan Zeng Can we move slowly, out-of-sync, and still find ourselves at the end, in the same place? sky • body • water • fall is an invitation and meditation on presence. The piece exists both as an archive of past migration and present movement, its fluidity fluttering between the cuts of video collage and spoken scores. Arising from a moment of hyper-mediation by technology for social connection, we instead ask, “What if we connected through the natureverse instead of the Internet?” By interfacing with our bodies and nature as portals for connection, we may just find ourselves together across distance. sky • body • water • fall is part of a series of video scores entitled Distance Rituals developed at the 2021 Wave Hill Artist Residency and supported by the 2020 Laundromat Project Creative Action Fund.
