Fielding

Performance by Shannon Cooney
In the frame of Open Spaces#3-2017

Accentuating the felt sense of seeing and being seen.

»Fielding« is a performance guided by the nature of vision. Literally per- forming seeing as a sensory tool for moving in relationship with a physical space and the space between one another. It is shaped by the phenomena of light, sound and people and is heightened by these in the acute and dynamic present.

Research funding by Oxygen Art Centre, Nelson BC Canada, Weld Company, Stockholm, Çıplak Ayaklar Kumpanyası, Istanbul.
