The Durational Performance of Cut Fruit
Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington x Amazon HQ2
Innovation Studio Residency
National Landing, VA
During my residency at the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington x Amazon HQ2 Innovation Studio, I explored with what natural preservation of unnatural objects look like for archiving memories of matrescence and embodied care.
Reimagining the art of air drying persimmons (gotgam in Korea) through clay, inherited gestures, and NFC tags, I dried over 50lbs of cut persimmons alongside clay sculpted persimmons. Visitors were invited to participate by creating their own clay persimmons and embedding them with a memory they carry for someone they love—recorded as a voicemail.
When a smartphone is placed near a clay persimmon, it activates a link allowing visitors to hear the story held within.
