Levitation

2019 · performance · Duration: 1h

Levitation is an hour long performance that took place at the 2019 Bombay Beach Biennale in the California desert.

There are so many tragic tales to be told around the Salton Sea, with the environmental disasters of the region and the hardships of the desert folks enduring the consequences. I heard many stories of adversity yet the people I met showed me the fierce beauty of the place and ever since, I have been deeply inspired by this particular part of the world.

Levitation is a performance honoring that sentiment of awe and dreaminess set on a beach made of bones and salt where the wind can be wicked.
