The Bed I Made

The Bed I Made subverts the certainty implied by its title, transforming what suggests consequence and finality into an outcome of perpetual change. Rather than a static finality, the work imagines an ever-expanding, shifting, and fluid world.
Inviting the audience to lie within its entrails to activate it, the work immerses them in an eerie, wet soundscape. As they merge with the creature/world/object, their bodies extend into space alongside it, dissolving boundaries between the self and their environment.

Rooted in Timothy Morton’s concept of ecological thought, this work embodies the interconnectedness of all things, urging the audience not merely to observe but to feel and experience entanglement firsthand. The world touches us as we touch it.
Sound plays a vital role in this entanglement—an inescapable medium that fully envelops the listener, dissolving the distinction between the listener and their surroundings, and reinforcing their physical and emotional connection to it.

“We are all symbiotic beings enmeshed in a vast, subtle net of interconnections.” Timothy Morton, The Ecological Thought (2010)
