727 (2022)
A temporal and environmental critique on the societal treatment of mental health conditions.
727, 2022, performance, audio, snow, duration: >5 hours, audio: 7 minutes and 27 second loop, snow: 1/2 mile
The performer plays an audio loop whilst placing a trail of snow mounds from the most accessible place on campus to the nearest counseling center.
A path was forged in a seemingly pointless task, and the interactions among the public, the artist, the environment, and the snow trail suggest cultural implications of mental health awareness.
What does ignoring, avoiding, trampling, or weaving in and out of the path suggest? What does the burying snowfall reveal? Most of the snow trail was undetectable by the end of the performance.
