Documentation of a performance of material intimacy. A frame of urethane resin becomes temporarily photosensitive to a viewer’s body, flattening and fragmenting the viewer’s body-image. The experience invites viewers to both see themselves in the material and be seen by the material.
In form and practice, it also calls to the occult tradition of scrying, seeking images and messages in the material, exploring the space between natural and “unnatural”.
This work is part of ongoing research into embodied experiences with plastic technologies.
