EMPTY PRACTICE FOR MEETING THE PATH OF TOTALITY
The question of how to live the challenges and realities of the Anthropocene intensifies. Many in the humanities call for creative re-engagement with ancient, medial human practices and cosmologies—and with nonhuman beings.
This 12-page, photo-based chapbook delineates a translational approach to cross-temporal and cross-cultural artistic practice. It includes the artwork empty practice for meeting the path of totality, a practice created for aesthetically responding to the total solar eclipse that occurred in North America, August 21st, 002017.
