In this 15 minute acrobatic dance work I invited audience members to question our bodies’ relationship to spatial demarcation. I drew my inspiration from a quantum mechanical interpretation using a mass density ontology; exploring how particle uncertainty gives rise to a macro conception of bodily location. Surprisingly, it's possible the mereotopology of my/our body(ies) is infinitely vague. Is it simply that we artificially draw these separations to be able to function within the universe? I tumbled them into a seemingly alternate world of possibilities. Perhaps they can flourish there; *between, around, and beside each other.

Horologue

Horologue is a 90-day durational performance art project exploring the relationship between clock time, embodied experience, and the social structures that organize everyday life. By removing access to clocks from daily routines, I sought to interrupt the pervasive rhythms of a culture organized around punctuality, productivity, and precise temporal measurement.

The performance unfolded through ordinary acts of adaptation. Sunrise, hunger, fatigue, traffic, environmental changes, and the movements of others became alternative ways of navigating the day. The project exposed the difficulty of opting out of clock time within a society where time is embedded in technologies, institutions, and expectations of respectability. It also revealed a distinction between time as a system of measurement and time as lived experience.

As a durational work, Horologue existed not in a single performance space but across the rhythms of everyday life. Its medium was the body in time: adjusting, anticipating, waiting, and responding. The project asks what becomes possible when we loosen our dependence on standardized time, and whether reclaiming temporal agency might allow us to inhabit the present with greater attention, flexibility, and pleasure.
