I JUICE THE MOON AND USE IT AS LOTION
In my practice I am cultivating ways to visualize, narrativize, perform, and facilitate speculative metamorphoses from ‘human being’ to ‘alien becoming’. I am interested in the category of ‘human being’ as a historically situated identity that serves to uphold millennia of patriarchal power positionings, including the separation between nature/culture, human/animal, male/female, whiteness/blackness, mind/body, same/other, self/world. By perforating the concept of ‘human being’, I am attempting to coax out an alternative identity that is characterized instead by horizontal liquidity and continuous transformation, where each ‘individual’ is reimagined as a co-emergent process with the ecologies and temporalities in which they are enmeshed.
