The Totem Project:


Being/Becoming

Being/Becoming
(video installation, work in progress)
Totem: An object, animal or plant, worshipped as the ancestor or protector of a person or a clan, and that serves as a magical helper.


The Totem Project is "Cyber Butoh," a series of works that use technology to reclaim a sense of the human body as mysterious and powerful, a source of mythic significance.

Through the eye of the camera I seek this transformation from the human to the numinous, from the mortal body to that of its totemic protector.
