Inscribed, with Rashin Fahandej, durational performance and video
We created three video projections showing a body being marked and unmarked. As they played, we continuously wrote on a 20 ft scroll of paper for 3 hours. The paper became a new skin. The performance was a meditation on cycles of being marked and freeing oneself.
