A landscape’ spine, performance, 2021

by Eve Tagny

in collaboration with

Florencia Sosa Rey

Hosted by Critical Distance Centre For Curators (CDCC)

Following her practice’s ongoing investigations into gardens as sites of grief and renewal, Eve Tagny along with collaborator Florencia Sosa Rey has choreographed a performance as a closing gesture for the exhibition You sit in a garden (curated by Chris Andrews).   Tracing parallels between a plant’s roots and our body’s spines, the performers explore the entanglements of leisure, respite, care as well as privilege, exclusion and labor that play out in our gardens and landscapes.

“If we go “to” nature, we are in fact going into ourselves.”

Outdoors performance on November 21st 2021, Toronto, Canada.
