Stranger Approaching
Stranger Approaching brings together twelve artists, filmmakers, and writers to center around the fable, and more broadly, literature as a scripting method. Observational description and memoir act as a choreographing device and often, the resulting sculptures, films, drawings, photographs, performances and texts have the capacity to read as parables.
In the belief that language emerges from lived experience, Stranger Approaching addresses writing through performance. Cast as protagonists in their own narratives, many included artists pass from one state to another in the span of a physical journey. As much a passing of time, as a passing from place to place, character transformation occurs on the precipice between the animalistic and the human, the intimate and the remote, the nostalgic and the foreboding, the invasive and the guarded, and through a resistance to death by a narrativizing of life.
