28:19 / 3 channel video installation / colour / stereo / HD / performative event / 2016
The live event explores inclusiveness and exclusiveness in the understandings of origin through a collaboration of art, science and performance. The performance presents three UK based actors invited to perform a script of an intimate conversation between a teacher and a student of Buddhism. The script is a translated edit from a different cultural context of Buddhism in Korea as performed in “Provocation of the Nightingale #1”.
