island

Vasiliki Riala performing ‘Humming’, July 2017
In island, the audience activated the performance by reading instructions to the performers. The instructions were based on self-awareness achieved through continual movement of the body. While the audience could choose from a range of actions, the performers controlled the duration and intensity of each action over a period of 24 hours.
