Kris Canavan ~ Version 1.1
I stand naked in the centre of the space.
I have a piercing with a hook through each arm and each leg connected to lengths of black cotton.
The x4 lengths of cotton run up to the ceiling and through X4 eyelet screws before falling to the floor, excess cotton spills over the ground before connecting to X4 ice blocks…
I stand as a sculptural installation. After time has passed I start to turn, either my arm/arms or my full body, I gather the cotton around my body and elevate the ice blocks. I twist and turn until I can't go any further.
Time will pass further with ice blocks suspended around me, slowly or quickly I unravel and allow the blocks to hit the ground.
I start again...
180 minute cycle
