Ánima

In Anima I embark on a journey through the night to a location not defined by a departure or an arrival point, but to an obscure territory, a geography mapped in time. This exercise addresses issues of darkness and light, taps into the conceptual realm of non-object based art, and embodies the ephemerality of performance art. This action took place in a forest as a ritual though the night.

 Anima began at the sundown of June 3, 2006 at MacDowell, Peterborough, New Hampshire
