Tabula Rasa, 2019

Ximena Garnica + Shige Moriya & LEIMAY Ensemble

Single bodies are enclosed inside transparent chambers partially filled with sand. Bodies are donned with gas masks as they try, time and again, to rise to standing. At intervals, machines attached to the chambers trigger a blast of sand causing the performers to lose their footing, sinking them back down into the ground.
