PHANTASIA, 2017
The Current Sessions volume xii: ON RESISTANCE at The Wild Project, New York, NY
August 18, 2017
in a shared evening with Gregory King & Megan Young, and Raha Behnam
What does resistance look like in a hyper-regulated body? In Phantasia, a naked, lone white woman survives in a dystopian reality not far from that of The Handmaid’s Tale. In this world, all physical movement is banned. Her head covered and thoughts filtered in through a speaker, her minuscule corporeal actions become radical acts of resistance. Remembering life before here, she escapes—until she wakes up.
