Transfusion: On the Fear of Closeness
January 2009
Interactive Performance
Audience members were asked to fasten a face mask with a tube stemming from the mouth onto their heads, inhale through their noses and exhale into the tub. Then, they were prompted to pull a cord, attached to curtains that opened to reveal the artist lying with the other end of the tube fastened to her face. A light over the artists' heart would dim and brighten based on the rhythm of breath. This piece was performed two weeks after the artist had undergone surgery.
