'Persephone's Rising' stills

Filmed performance, April 2021

Persephone's Rising

​

'Persephone's Rising' (2021) is a bile-spewed come down.

​

Through film, 'Persephone's Rising' adopts a stillness that is oddly captivating. The image is ambiguous because of it's invasive zoom and lack of movement. The image slowly awakens, spewing.

​

Incidentally, this piece is a contrast to its sequel, 'Persephone's Fall' in its process and concept. The performance aspect of 'Persephone's Rising' is significantly peaceful, acting as a sobering thought of materialism and drug use.
