Exhibition/Performance Wall Text: "Suspended Disbelief" is a search party for changing states of matter. We are working with live performance, video projection, bodies, ladders, roof hatches, sequins, fog, rope, harness, carabiners, plywood, fabric, and a plexiglass tank, because we want to understand something new about the impossible relation between emotion and motion. By funneling these changing states through dynamics of above and below, inside and outside, and appearance and disappearance, we may locate the tethers that ground our realities. You can follow the status of the search via a mixed video projected within the plexiglass tank that translates motion/stillness on the roof and in/through the roof portal.
