Sanded Steps, Standing Over Stones - 300-Word Statement

<i>Sanded Steps, Standing Over Stones</i> is a live art work that rethinks ‘trace’ and ‘event’ in historical––and ongoing aporetic––situations that become self-effacing and unhappening. It uses self-effacing gestures such as the sweeping of sand, and audience participation in enunciating found-words from texts and slogans, to trace cultural revolutions and social demonstrations from May ’68 to Occupy––and asks whether such events insist or desist in happening today.<br>This item contains a 300-word statement outlining the research project.
