If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
A single figure crosses the space, composing a choreography of gestures, poses and instantaneous dances. It is a romanticism of the beginning, an original movement that takes shape at the very moment it happens. Its presence is entirely sentimental, choosing to expose itself with an open and unarmed gaze to the tensions that inhabit the boundary between private and public, accessible and forbidden, sweetness and despair. In this choreographic practice, the body declares boundless trust in the politics of movement itself, in its simple, free and manifest occurrence as intimate and creative resistance, a space of emergence and radical exposure against the death and aridity of the world.

When you enter the garden, you find yourself in this moment – the instant you enter can never be remembered. Around you lies the transfigured landscape.
Derek Jarman
