Void (live performance) 2022 - Joshua Serafin
 The live performance of “Void” is a physical manifestation stemming from the video work.

This piece is a conversation with live musician Alex Zhang Huntai and a prerecorded soundscape designed by Luis Miguel Ramires. In the performance, we see the god(dess) Void on an island installation blending into its environment. Two light pillars that extend to the sky create a portal that connects the spiritual and mortal realms. Void converses with the soundscape and the ecological and meta-realm landscape surrounding them. Their dance creates a ritual of birth, and rebirth, collecting global sadness and its beauty. It is an embodiment of our current society. 

 

Pearls are the final form of all pains and hurt of society. 

Void gathers all the pain of humanity and turns it into pearls to keep in the astral realm.

Here memories are kept for the gods to learn and archive humanity’s pain.

The love that’s lost, the pain of war, the pain of living and surviving, 

The loss of the love that could have happened but never did.
