softspells

(2025)

(softspells) is a ritual space unfolding from the flesh of two trans lovers' embodied + visual experiences of domesticity. Inspired by Carolee Schneeman's Fuses, the bodies invoke sapphic lineages while weaving together movement rituals, improvisational scores, and projected images of falling fabrics, intimacies of the flesh, and looks from cats.
