We are infected with time, busy in our minds and fragile in our inflexible bodies. With projectile necks and extended arms we reach within, into our drowned-out memories to tell the stories we carry molecularly. This room acts as a shared gesture, intended to hand-make the story that we need to hear, that we’ve forgotten, that is our demon, our parent or grandparent.
It is to undo the conditions that have brought us into a chronic state.
Let the animals in.
