Dies Irae

Live performance

The figure is female, dressed in black, long sleeved, high necked top and very full skirt (to just above ankles). No shoes. Her waist is pulled in very tight by a belt. She is suspended by her hair, via a noose attached to a rope and pulley. Just the tips of her toes touch the floor. She is neither on the floor, nor in the air. At all times her hands are open, her eyes do not blink. Seemingly destined to repeat herself over and over, she is exposing the voices in her head, exposing a litany of descriptions that she has taken on for herself, and daring the viewer to watch her and embrace her discomfort.
