This Impermanent Imperfect Form Surrendered to the Invisible Energy
The performance site was a crematorium on the banks of a river, a transformational space where the five elements come together – water, fire, earth, air, and space. Here, we come closer to the invisible energy surrounding us.
Boiled rice engulfs the artist’s breathing form and as he surrenders himself to the invisible energy, beyond the constant questioning of meaning and existence. Through the silence, one must re-enter the disguised form.
The performance is a detoxification of the breathing form, purified through a holistic process, thereby liberating our habitually disguised form. A similar process is used for Linga, where one covers a statue of Linga in boiled rice to end the reincarnation cycle.
