TIMELINING
2014 |DURATION VARIABLE
Timelining investigates how memory binds people in time. Circling the gallery in an interlocking floor pattern, two individuals in a pre-existing relationship—familial, romantic, or otherwise—speak chronologies of their lives from the present moment backwards. One timeline intertwines with the other according to the rules of a movement score, producing temporal jumps and unscripted moments of intimacy. A score-based performance artwork conceived for the exhibition context, Timelining reflects subjectivity as formed in relation to others, by desire, and always in motion.
