still life is a time-based research, sculptural and performance practice by slowdanger founders taylor knight and anna thompson. The work questions our bodies' ontological relationship with consumption, object, impact, other bodies and the environment. At its core, the still life creates a frame for using performance as a methodology for metabolizing the friction in how capitalism and consumerism have shaped our practical beliefs and the growing desensitization toward the coming apocalypse. Within still life, performers execute durational performance scores that use movement, sound making, and object exploration, to generate fragmented landscapes that form and decay again, and again. The practice is designed to dissolve performers and viewers' traditional notions of time and invite a sensation of “long-time”. This is designed with hopes of inviting the viewer to relinquish the burden of “getting it” and rather, sparking in them a deeper sense of their own embodied presence in viewing.
