BE-COMING TREE RE-MISSION (2025)
Be-coming Tree Re-mission is a work created at a tipping point—just before a leap into the unknown, toward the first light of a new dawn...
How to set a closure, with your beloved, that feels like an embrace
rather than an ending? A soft, erotic cuddle that retains aliveness
in spite of a departure for a journey that cannot be postponed. I seal you,
otherworldly lover, into a cup of sacred alcohol—to mature, and as tears drop
from the golden ocean of unimpeded awareness, I let you bubbling up, in the dark, away from wicked eyes, so you can rest, active in stillness, forming the signs
of accomplishment that cannot be denied.
The 2-channel video documents a performance for camera by Jatun Risba that took place in November 2024 in the Panovec Forest in Nova Gorica, Slovenia—the forest that gave birth to the Be-coming Tree personal and collective project. The video was post-produced in January 2025.
