Experiencing Interruptions?

Framing everyday negotiations: never confuse movement with action

This short video documents a remote performance in which I attempted the Sisyphean task of preventing the tide flowing in with sandbags. An allegorical action that suggests repetitive damming and a hopeless attempt to prevent oceans "rising", this film is overlaid with a subtitled cyclical conversation, which adds an emotional bent to the action, an interior damming or flood.
