VIRTUAL DIARIES
REALITY EN ROUTE (2013)
For movers, travelers & migrant-settlers from islander diaspora, home is a constant state of arrival. This somatic videopoem journeys through the elements of earth, water, fire, wind. Moving images were filmed while traveling across Visayan islands, Philippines (2018-2019) & from ancestral abode on Bantayan island during 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. The quotidian reality of quarantine life becomes a projected landscape for interior somatic experience, deeply rooted at the site of body as home & memory.
Music remixed in collaboration with Rosie G.
Part II (Tubig) exhibited at "Panlantawon," Byay Hubahib, Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines (November 2020)
SWAMP_SEA_SUBURBIA (2015)
Translating a bodywork practice influenced by Thai Yoga, Ayurveda, Philippine Hilot, Somatics, Reiki, the movement meditation guides an exploration through elements of earth, water, fire, wind & ether shifting skin across space-time. Blending moving repertoires & sacred rhythms from Visayan islands, Philippines to Lenape islands of NYC, the embodied journey honors elemental roots in the healing transformation of home & memory.
