Apologies by Proxy
HAVE YOU BEEN WRONGED? ARE YOU OWED AN APOLOGY? IN 3 MINUTES TELL US THE TALE AND WE WILL GIVE YOU YOUR OVERDUE APOLOGY
In 3 minutes or less you tell the tale of an event you felt you were owed an apology for that never came. We then give you that apology. You keep your apology for when you need it and when you are ready, pass it on to someone else who needs one. 100 apologies were given at this location over 4 days.
My performance work centers on contextual audience based installations. Without the participants the work could not exist. There is often an element of emotional catharsis. Be it the unburdening of a secret pain, desire to give love or the gift of a moment of peace, it is this recognition of the connection and commonality of all people that resonates for me. It may be said that the true subject of this work is the human heart and that the time at which the piece is created is only the beginning of it's full existence.
