"From Our Bodies Blinking" - Multiple Artists

https://www.rootdivision.org/exhibition-rd-gallery/our-bodies-blinking

This is a series of live performances by a group of artists and performers which explores "the tension between presence and absence; memory and action." Eye contact is closely tied with being present - in a conversation or in a relationship. Conversely, lack of eye contact indicates absence. Although this piece does not literally use the concept of blinking or eye contact, it draws nicely on the ideas presented by these actions. It helps to illustrate the meaning of blinking, what it means for something besides an eye to blink (in this piece, a body). We took these ideas and apply them back to our own piece, with a more subjective and artistic perspective on what blinking really means.
