SUMMONING THE SPIRITS OF ROSEKILL LAKE

2020, performance

Rosekill Farm, Rosendale, Upstate New York, USA

A performance on the threshold between the world before and after COVID. The first month of my residency at Grace Exhibition Space in the United States — New Year’s Day. On a farm far from any city, news reaches us of an unknown, deadly virus. I sense profound change approaching. I seek to prepare — to adapt to unfamiliar conditions, to harden the body through cold and the heat of the sauna, to call upon the supporting forces of invisible dimensions.
