“How do we respond to violence, conflict, and loss? My video performance/installations explore this question by creating rituals, myths, and landscapes that allow us to enter the event. Images and stories garnered from news media serve as a catalyst for my current work. Instinctively familiar to the viewer, the gestures I record are primal, recurrent images that are simultaneously futile and heroic. I use video and sound to shape a landscape in which concrete actions and abstract elements are exchanged and layered in rhythmic repetition. The large structural components of my installations embody the activity and define the space shared by the viewer, creating an immersive experience. With actions familiar and volatile the work seeks to confront our passivity as voyeurs and our responsibility as witnesses.” D ENISE M ARIKA
