“Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.”
Epictetus, The Enchiridion, 125 AD
Two bodies, horizontal to the floor, are presented from a bird’s eye view. They perform assigned tasks under obscure rules. Separated across two frames, they navigate the forces operating against them. A dual-channel video installation which challenges perception, perspective and the performing body.
