sky studies: .xe

Screened at EXPS/SLC (Experimental Series Salt Lake City) BREATH WORK program.

February 2023, Union Theater, Salt Lake City

Created during the 2020 lockdown, sky studies: .xe explores diy body cam[corder] work, in which the movement experience of the (alleged) performer denies the conventional third person gaze of a recorded event and instead claims first person-ness through the perspective of their moving sternum, head, shoulder, and hand. These unseen bodily perspectives fold, tumble, and pan, encouraging a viewing experience that continues the performative/experiential state of the solo rooftop recording.
