BOUNDLESS OMINOUS FIELDS

Synopsis

This performance work aims to activate the archaic and energetic transgenerational archives of both performer and spectator.Two bodies on stage in altered states, traveling through internal archives beyond the personal biographical body and the immediate conscious mind. Channeling rather than presenting or representing. Immersed with their epigenetic imprinting they hover on the borders between the unfamiliar and the hyper familiar, serving as a reflection of and a gateway into the history of our shared subconscious territories and altered states of resonance.

Boundless Ominous Fields goes a step further into Guðjónsdóttirs long term phenomenological exploration of altered states of consciousness through embodiment. Created with and for Finnish performers Karolina Ginman and Marlon Moilanen, it is the first work in a trilogy commissioned by the two performers.
