HUMAN INSTALLATION 0 - CHRYSALIS

“Are you asleep or dead?" 
– My Mother the shell,
I the daughter but mud, 
“I’m alive, can’t you hear me breathing?” 
“I thought it was the wind” (Kyrahm)

The voluntary isolation is the illusion of feeling safe. 

Locked in a cocoon for 24 hours, Kyrahm is looked after by Julius Kaiser who takes care of her basic needs night and day. 

A webcam is positioned inside the Chrysalis and will remain active for all the duration of the performance, connected to a live stream channel and broadcasted on the website:   humaninstallations.com/channel.html
The audience can remotely interact by leaving messages in the web chat available on the same page. 

We want to focus our attention to the importance of the act of sharing, thus the collective ritual”. Artists and curators from around the world are participating to this event by broadcasting the live stream from their physical and virtual spaces.

Kyrahm will come out from the cocoon after 24 hours. The recovery will bring her back to life renewed.

Human Installations WebTV is an independent channel created by Kyrahm and Julius Kaiser and dedicated to new forms of body experimentations, performance art, body art, live art.  “Through live streaming we seek an interaction between private and public space, an extension of the “hic et nunc”, and the interdisciplinary of the languages of communication”.  

Background

She remained closed in the cocoon for 27 hours in the middle of a square of Rome, looked after by her own mother who cared about her basic needs. The performance, broadcasted in live streaming, opened Mut-Azioni Profane, Body performance art festival conceived by her and curated together with Julius Kaiser.
