transit (2010) LIVE PERFORMANCE
The beginning point for Transit emerged from personal experience. In the summer of 2007/2008 I was forced to be still to recover from an injury.

Although in contemporary life we can seemingly be anywhere and everywhere at once via the speed and efficiency of engineering, technology and the internet, the moment of transit is alluring as a space of possibilities.
