THE BARDO
A TRANSDISCIPLINARY INSTALLATION IN WHICH THE BODY FUNCTIONS AS A PERFORMATIVE SCORE
...perhaps that’s what I am, the thing that divides the world in two, on the one side the outside, on the other the inside, that can be as thin as foil, I’m neither one side nor the other, I’m in the middle…
– Samuel Beckett
– Samuel Beckett
THE BARDO brings together documentary film, dance, 360-degree immersive video, virtual interactivity and spatial design into a multimedia installation. Utilizing the physical interviews of TERRAIN, viewers are united through a shared experience of the body. A dynamic interplay of virtual-actual and individual-social mirrors THE BARDO as a kaleidoscopic environment where stories emerge, recede, fracture, and merge.
