Amanda.
Facing away from the camera and in a pale beige dress, Amanda leans backwards by the window of the remains of a house, her arms stretched out wide to her sides. She holds the sleeves of black fabric in the shape of a dress in front of her. Pieces of light fabric are draped over windowsills and over a stand in the room.
Now she stands outside the remains of the house. She stands in the same dress with her side to the camera. She holds a large bunch of foliage that hides her face.
She stands behind a large glass with a structure holding it to the ground. On the glass, there are over 25 sticky notes. A windsock flies above the structure.
Several pieces of fabric hanging in a room with rounded walls. Next, we see Amanda hanging the fabric in four different photos. The poem is printed between the pictures. Poem, Autopsicography, by Fernando Pessoa, translation by Dama. English translation reads: The poet is an illusionist who's so good at it he even invents the pain of pain he feels in fact. Those who read his words will feel this in their time. Neither of the pains he has by the ones they're still missing. And around the rails and wheels spinning, entertaining our minds, a little clockwork train. This thing we call the heart.
Color photos of Amanda wearing and dragging parachutes. In two, she walks with brown, white, and orange parachutes among craggy rocks. In one, she walks on the wet sand beside water, with the parachutes behind her. In one, we see only her footprints and the ends of the chutes. In one, we see the chutes interacting with each other, some twisted, some draped.
the outside of a house, with typewritten and handwritten pages on the windows facing out.
Inside a room, a window hangs from the ceiling in the middle of the room and a body suit hangs near a corner. A photo of the room is projected on the walls around the body suit. On the floor, a roll of paper is partially unrolled. Another tarp is spread out and many kinds of media are organized on top.
Four photos. One appears to be a diorama of the room with rounded walls. One is a collage of a hand touching a knife inserted into a church window. One is another indoor diorama. The last is an outdoor scene of crosses in the ground with long wood boxes.
A gauzy tent in a room with video being projected onto it. The stills include Amanda inside the tent playing with string, and one featuring bugs on the tent wall.
Beside a Margaret Atwood quote, a photo of Amanda installing a piece that includes the video of bugs on the tent. Title, Until Death, It's All Living, 3 hours, 2015.
A color photo of the floor.
A color photo of Amanda building the tent.
Title, I've got to tell you something now, 249 days today, ongoing since March 2020. A color photo of a long white piece of fabric draped across a bench, over a dirt path, and into brush. Mountains stand in the background.
