ACTION AT A DISTANCE + TANGAJ COLLECTIVE
Installation: BLOT – BODY LINE OF THOUGHT
Free: drop in and stay as long as you wish

Conceived by Vancouver’s Vanessa Goodman in collaboration with Romanian dance artist Simona Deaconescu, BLOT – Body Line of Thought is an interdisciplinary creation which explores movement in relation to the bacteria in our bodies. It aims to strip the body of social meanings and rethink it as an interconnected system, strong and fragile at the same time, co-existing with a multitude of micro-organisms. This special four-channel installation incorporates video, sound, text and movement, to create an immersive experience full of bold ideas and pristine beauty.
