Cool as a Shadow

By Gill Eatherley
If all life on earth began with occupations of light, then this one is mine. My activities are now rooted in an experimental Nature, without artifice. We will share it with you beneath these vaults of curves and atmospheres past, far from the white cube. Light travels in a straight line until something obstructs its path, it could be the moon, or a leaf. I show no artifice. Only you will be able to see, feel and hear beneath your steps. Slip inside. The musician ErikM will accompany me, and I will accompany him… He will make gestures resonate according to what follows, there where the truest order is rarely manifest.
I will be wrapped in veils. The roots of ErikM’s digital concrete music will glide and sing through the space, meeting along the way the shadows and half-lights of nature. Our trajectories will cross with precision throughout these explorations.
