Solo exhibition at Xposed gallery comprised of two channel projections expanding six projectors. Always and Forever addresses how our bodies carry stories of our past, how our past is always present in our bodies if we choose to open the curtains.
The animation is set on a stage -- under the skirt of the Wise Tigress. She invites us inside of her body to witness the story of her past that haunts her present. The story of trickery, betrayal, oblivion and magic.
Lanina’s performance, set to the background of flames and skeletons, is displayed adjacent to the animation. In it the artist performs one of the animation characters supported by her animatronic sculptures.
The show runs October 27-December 8th, 2022.
The show could be seen from The High Line @19th street, New York, NY daily 6:30-10pm
