Mind Split = Identical Twins II

“Hours the sisters of fates
leading conscious to preconscious
daughters of the night, of laws and power;
   measuring lengths and chance. 
symbols of associations
sensations of self incarnation.”

For this work, I projected a short movie I made earlier in the year: eye hole (2018). I attached piezo mics on a coconut plant and placed a fan directed to it amplify its movements.  I began by asking for two participants without explaining their contribution to the work but asked them to sit down and let me blindfold them.  Later, I began to form the essence of a ritual: walking in circles and reading a text from my hand.  I massaged the feet of the participants with a hand-made oil.  The performance finished with a sound set composed live.

The performance was presented in Nicosia, Cyprus, as part of the Amorphous (BUZZ) Performance Art Series at Koraï Project Space on 30 June 2018. The series was curated by Dagmar I. Glausnitzer-Smith, with curatorial assistance by Katerina Paisi, and the performance was documented by Kyriakos Kadis.
