A durational, participatory, audio-visual performance installation in which video layering, repetition and audience intervention transform the moving body into a palimpsest of memory and traces of time.
The performers body moves in one long, slow gesture, captured on camera and projected back onto itself. The process is repeated. Over time, layers build into a palimpsest: earlier traces degrade yet remain visible, while subtle audience interventions alter the composition as it unfolds.
Time, repetition and feedback function as visual and conceptual material. The work sits between documentation and presence, exploring how memory settles in the body and how identity is shaped by traces of what has already passed.

Durational audio-visual performance installation.
Countless Lives is a living collage, a work in progress. The layers accumulate, change in time, shaping the present image.
A body moves, recorded on camera; one long, slow, continuous gesture. The video is projected back onto the body and the process repeats. Over time, layers accumulate into a palimpsest: older images degrade yet remain visible, shaping the present image. Audience interventions enter the live projection, altering the composition as it unfolds.
It is an immersive experience; a collaborative work which evolves with every iteration.
