A Held Posture

Created, Designed & Performed by Hyung Seok Jeon

 

What would you see when you get to the bottom?

A Held Posture is a solo performance. The piece explores the image impulse of sinking into the deep ocean. Through a visual investigation of the abyss, the piece explores the sensation of falling and the experience of generational loss. Formal experiments, including puppetry, a live video feed, and a soundscape created with wireless headphones, guide the audience into the intimate and minimal space within the self.
