Guided Meditation for Fantasies of Violence (2022)
Overview
Guided Meditation for Fantasies of Violence searches for ways to metabolize the fears that have taken up residence in the body. The audience is led through a series of guided visualizations and prompts for contemplation, evocative of late-night YouTube comforts and self-help cassettes, but without an avoidant optimism that turns away from the realities of embodied pain. Divided into sections, the work moves through the four elements – an invocation.
