The body is a political territory, every gesture, every posture is a statement of who this person is in this moment of action or this very public moment of being seen.
Performance
to become other than dust
our species drawing lines
individualized, recontextualized, intertwined
to find solace, you ask us to soften
transparent and expressive
we find our mouths open, tongues tied
freedom of guilt spitting out their gaze
not softening, but fluorescent boundaries
finding futures there, in dreams
liberation:
a place we have yet to know
at the point of departure
we traverse the water in search of ourselves
friction between spaces
body based bumping in the dark
we have never known ourselves without you.
