Flesh Chariots / Chariots of Flesh
At a time when experiences are flattened or siloed onto screens, creating the illusion of depth where little to none exists, how does multidimensional perception reawaken?
Flesh Chariots / Chariots of Flesh is a moving human mirage: posture, proximity, presence drip into one another like a wet painting reworked in real time. Separate yet together, fifteen bodies vibrate into scenes, dissolve into masses, collide in and out of coherence.
Through subtle shifts in position and gaze, the group becomes a living, morphing image. Riding waves of force that rupture stillness into collapse, collision, ecstatic overcoming. As everything changes, how does a body metabolize the uncontainable?
Flesh Chariots / Chariots of Flesh is a working title and may change.
