A story of clothes, touch of skin, resonance, to remain in pieces...  Discarded.  Left behind. The people who wore them that I do not know and are now absent.  My own distance and landscape I carry with me..  ...between memory and no memory…  From discarded, what imprint holds one’s body, what release can be found in each trace?

The clothes used in this work were found discarded in the streets and outdoor public spaces of Taipei, Hualien, Seoul, Tabor, Prague, Berlin, and Paris.  They have been photographed, collected, and re-photographed and are used for exhibition, movement research, and performance.

The work was developed during extensive travels and residencies in 2006-7 (in parts of Taiwan, South Korea, France, Germany, and the Czech Republic).  In its entirety, it is comprised of multiple photographic series, writing, site-specific performances, and work for an intimate theater and video.

The primary series of tableau photography in this work and the use of discarded clothing have played a role in subsequent projects and varying choreographic and improvisational works.  In the work “Echo”, found clothing is used and the central tableau is used as a physical image that develops in an alternate direction, in the work “To”, the tableau images are projected as video within the context of a mixed media installation. Each work has taken the images in considerably different directions while redeveloping and deconstructing the idea of an image as a set entity, reference, memory, flat surface, set up, or a historical shard.
