suspended durational participatory performance

Last Frontier, Brooklyn, NY

​

For Itinerant Performane Art Festival 2017

Curated by Hector Canonge

​

Based on "we are light".

Focusing on the duration of the performance as the duration of a life, and exploring concepts including: memory, transformative energy, human deterioration, optics and gravitational forces. Throughout life, the artist explores moments of solitude and introspection and moments deep connections with audience members; moments of pain and others of pleasure; moments of growth and others of stagnancy and death.

 

Araujo is suspended in the air holding a lit candle, which serves as a metaphor of where we are in space, as well as the common light that we share in our human journey through time.
