Garden of stones - Performance

Performative ritual that explores the intrusion of the living and the mutable into the space of the eternal, and the relationship between light and shadow.

Ingredients: desire, stone, shadow, fear

The performance unfolds within a space inspired by a rock garden — a landscape striving for

timelessness and stillness. Stones form a conditional cosmos where form and emptiness remain in balance, and any movement becomes an event. It is a space of contemplation and distance, of almost sterile eternity. Birches disrupt the garden’s stillness: a seasonal, changing tree brings time, growth, and corporeality into the field of stone.

Action, creation, and control, the impulse of possession and desire in white gloves; unconscious fear, repression, shadow, and submission in a white mask. The entire action is driven by a pulsing, ancient desire written into every breath: the desire to become one.
