Father in Firecrackers
_
Act 1: 2014 / Photograph prints of performance / Performance: 6:40
Act 2: 2016 / Sculpture, wood, paper, ash / 10 L x 10 W x 4 H in
The hell/joss paper is silk screened with images of my late father's views outside of his hospital rooms leading up to his passing. The performance is a desperate effort to connect to the other world.
The paper is then burnt and encapsulated in a wooden ash box.
