DAMNED SPOT

 

“Damned Spot”  2020    Video, time based performance

A six-hour durational performance, created and performed for “Opera Povera”, curated by Sean Griffin, on April 7, 2020. 

Reflecting and physicalizing the overwhelming anxiety of the COVID-19 pandemic and its isolation effect, experienced by the artist and her friends, family, and colleague. For the entirety of the six-hour period, the artist stood at her sink and washed her hands anytime the local public radio, KQED, discussed the pandemic. 

The passing of time is measured by the diminishing size of the soap.
