PortablePelt-Look Closely

This video is a visual and aural representation of a persons interaction both with their environment and with another being. I wanted to invite the idea of public engagement through symbiotic biomimicry through the wearing of a photosynthetic garment or accessory. Such participation might encourage an individual to consider how a garment might function on a spiritual and aesthetic level as well as being tangibly productive. The performer is wearing a moss collar that allows her to actively catalyse the air through which she moves. She is alone and deeply in repose, her metaphysical presence lies between dream and consciousness . Her awakening comes from an increased awareness of herself in her surroundings, the interaction between her body and the air immediately within her physical realm , coupled with the interplay of light and shadow, and brings that awareness into reality. This expression anticipates empathy with another. The introduction of another being allows a shared exploration which extends beyond her physical self and into the world of unspoken communication, duality, and interaction.
