Trace Elements

with Susan Lee & Covalence Collective

(Excerpted from program notes by Susan Lee.)

'Trace Elements' deals with the multi-dimensional and interactive paradigm of personal identification - how we create and enact our personas, how we are perceived, and how the external world affects and is affected by the act of creating our identity. In this intermedial work, the technical processes of creating and viewing the video images mirror these multi-dimensional processes of identity.

'Trace Elements' was performed at both the 2012 CanAsian Dance Festival and the 2013 CanAsian Dance Festival in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
