Alexander H. Puckett
Conversation with Lygia Clark and myself
Taking ten water filled ziploc bags, one iPod with headphones, and some tanning eye covers - within this event I attempted to tap into the memories and visions that devour me on a day to day basis. Water inside the bags are meant to in a way separate my mind from my body - they make me aware of my body while allowing for a more distinct separation within my mind - and stream of thought - from the physical body I inhabit. The noise (music) is meant to subdue the outside world and its calamity, and allow for a smoother transition into a certain state of mind - while still creating a manufactured space of noise in my control. I continiously kept my voice going for thirteen minutes in hopes things would arise. This event took place within the solidity of a bedroom - no viewers - to allow for inhibitions to be let go - but has the potential to envelop and take place with an active audience. But the solitude of my mind - and thus my body - was initially and strategically executed within a bedroom where solitude is sought - without an audience.
