unknowable certainty (2024)

with Cyan D’Anjou and Sunghoon Song

Founding Lab Fall Term Project

Immersive performance, 2-channel film projection (14:40).

The pieces shows the experience of being caught in a search for an unidentifiable variable that would might help quantify the cumulative experiences leading up to the present–as if to balance a scale caused by a debt created somewhere in the past. It portrays the fallacy in the hope that finding this variable would prove that the gravity of feeling has an logical explanation and is thus perfectly solvable. The combined elements of a visual film, live choreography, and the durational depiction of a graphical analysis converge to illustrate the process of breaking from reliving in cycles of past and extend an invitation for sentiment existing beyond understanding.

“I’ve been restless, like I have a debt to settle. But I’m running out of time, so I tried reaching out to you in the places where time feels endless. If I could go back there I could measure and show you; I can prove that I bore the weight of our presence. I was there, amongst the sea, part of something before it ever had an ending.”
