a meditative evening for climate healing: qi, earth, and still… moving
One-night video art screening + handmade tea served during intermission
An intimate night of elemental cinema—where air, water, moon, and earth converge in moving image. Curated with Chinese BaZi cosmology, the program balances Water (Lei Benben), Earth (Shirley Tse), Wood (Dana Berman Duff), and Fire (Warren Neidich) to create a meditative space for ecological attunement, breath, and soft resistance.
Special highlight: “The Universe Breathes Us” (Relational) will be shown for the first time ever ahead of its official debut at Kling & Bang Art Space, Reykjavik (opening August 16). This tidal–moon collaboration weaves sculpture, choral song, and repurposed materials into an immersive meditation on breath, tide, and relational forces.
Also featuring the U.S. premiere of Lei Benben’s “Fresh Air,” a quietly radical portrait of Chinese city parks as portals to stillness, alongside Shirley Tse’s “Orkney Moon,” Dana Berman Duff’s “The House Is Empty,” and Warren Neidich’s “In the Mind’s I: Huang.”
Handmade tea served during intermission. Cushions, seats, blankets, and putuan (蒲团) provided.
Tickets: $15–20 ($10 reduced). Space limited to 20 guests. RSVP required: ann@apoco.art. Address provided with confirmation of RSVP.
Artists: Shirley Tse, Lei Benben, Dana Berman Duff, Warren Neidich, Relational (Shirley Tse & Dana Berman Duff) with Doug Farrand, Alan Berman Duff, C3LA, and Kliður.
