As an artist who explores associations and disassociations of culture and nature, I am playing with sunlight in performance in the hot Montréal summer. This is an extension of a body of collaborative research creation work.
My project this summer, Halo Event, thinks of sunlight as a material and as something that’s alive. This isn’t a new framework: the belief that natural phenonmena are alive, or animism, is as old as human culture, and has more recently been articulated in schools of contemporary philosophy.
