i am holding it together
2016
Paper, tape, video (6:14), Twitter fragments, performance.
Installation for the exhibition Fine Arts Thesis 2016 at Charles Addams Gallery in Philadelphia, PA.
i am holding it together included two live stream performances on April 18th and 19th during gallery hours inside the installation and broadcasted through NewHive. With the door to the installation closed, a script of Twitter fragments was recited into a live stream lag loop. The result was a chorus of declarative statements viewed through the devices of audience members or heard by gallery visitors outside the installation door.
