Abstract [en]
Leaking: like a drop that forms over time until it gathers enough weight to leave the surface, while another drop is forming, defining its own parameters of gathering and falling. A leak depends on a leaning against, an insistence on leaning against a little gap, a space in between the river flows, it might echo as a call for action, or else leaks too slowly to be noticed. The time it takes for the drop to fall, is holding a term, is making the leak more or less apparent, is marking a territory of control, in an effort to contain what will always remain dropping and pouring somewhere.
Leaking into para-time is a performative installation that explores the forming of a landscape of collected material that were leaking out of the stream of utility and efficiency. It holds a hand underneath these shapes to see what elsethey might become, observing their gravitational negotiation, like a flat stone being hurled over the water surface. Each surface contact takes it further from the shore until the spinning cannot sustain itself and weight is introduced again. The stone sinks to the bottom of the sea, where the tide and waves move it again and sand soften its edges.
