Durational performance

To become one of the truly dead we must allow ourselves to fully decompose and pass on to the next life, or the next phase of our lives. In this performance Bryson constructs 36 coffins made from plant materials for animals, insects, and fruit so that they may decompose out in the open to be observed in all states of their deterioration. Bryson is interested in what grows off of the dead, and how we can learn from this liminal site of transformation.
