kenopsiaYear: 2024
Medium: Video, Performance, Installation
Duration: Total run time 19 min
kenopsia is a live video performance utilizing reactive video feedback loops and live audio to culminate in the recording and production of a looped multi-channel video installation that is filmed, edited, and scored live in the SVA Chelsea Gallery during the performance. The piece draws from elements of Tyson’s thesis performance The Six Seasons, a full length live video opera that investigates Indigenous notions of non-linear time and connections to land in regards to deep time. kenopsia is about absence, once the performance ends and the camera operator leaves, the overlayed three channel video remains in the gallery on loop, slowly degrading.
Documentation from performance on July 25 2024 at the opening reception of “Non-Sovereign Poetics” at SVA Chelsea Gallery in NYC, curated by Andrew Woolbright and organized by Isabelle Schipper.
