In the search for a phytocentric perspective, to what each is becoming in the presence of the other engaged with plants through gestures of attunement, amplifying moments of contact and exploring the resonances activated by these encounters. Working with common and toxic plants that resist touch, expressions were mediated and elaborated through both verbal and nonverbal signaling. Visitors were invited to participate as listeners, witnesses, and corroborators in these mediated exchanges, which took place in periodic sessions throughout the evening.

Performed in conjunction with Field Study at David Weinberg Photography.
