The Pod Project

The Pod Project is a performance/installation consisting of 13 private, one-on-one performances housed within 13 sculpted spaces. The viewer actually enters the performance environment and experiences a one-on-one exchange in unconventional proximity. The interiors of the sculptures/ pods are personalized. Crossing the threshold, we pop into: a dentist's office, a mountaintop ski-lift, a cocoon, a snowglobe, a shower, etc. The scene content, ranging from highly interactive to resolvedly voyeuristic, is original and diverse. Opening the door to a chamber you may find: a woman with her back to you listing what she doesn't want you to know; a sleeping man, a tiny door in the wall and through the tiny door, a hillside of glistening white sheep; a waitress playing "Die Valkyrie" on water glasses; a man hovering silently off the ground; a woman behind a table of wigs asking you which one you'd like to see her wear first; or a bespectacled man in a melting caterpillar suit talking about how he needs something to look forward to. The lights fade and each viewer is guided to his next destination. This is an exciting evening of suspense and unusual encounters.
