Phases of the Imminent

2018.

Chelsea Coon

Phases of the Imminent was a six-hour endurance performance that examined the interrelated factors of space, time and body. I moved broken mirror particles to make six successively smaller orbital rings that reflected the space and the audience. Each ring represented an hour, which began from the outermost limits of the structure and moved inwards until I was closed inside. For the duration of the work an audio of the merging of two black holes played on loop. The re-arrangement of the broken mirror particles into circles spoke to the way that nothing ever ends; rather, forms change and what occurred in previous phases is inextricably linked to the imminent.

This performance was delivered twice in Indonesia and the United States in 2019.
