The more I hold you

[Five-minute time lapse]

The more I hold you
Video. (2015)

Performed 7 February 2015
Duration: 2 hours 46 seconds

I give the ice warmth from my hands. It changes, and disappears — leaving my hands wet, shriveled, and full of memory.

Shot over the course of 2 hours, this rapid remembrance offers physical sensations that are fleeting and yet connected to life-long relationships: to cold, to holding on, to ecosystems, to loss, to desire.

In this work, I am thinking about the mutual impact of relationships, both at the scale of human-to-human interaction, and between the world and ourselves.
