_____________________________________

At once an artifact and experience, the afterlife of a performance as interactive sculpture. Here, you are the actor, and a wall — salvaged from Mabou Mines old studio in the PS 122 Community Center — is the physical manifestation of a memory of a play, which your presence activates and disrupts. Sound and video portraits embedded and mapped onto the wall produce a reverse relief. What is far seems near and near, far. The past hypnotizes the present, denying its erasure, to remind us of a life before that continues.
