The site-specific performance installation Buss Demon Choat incorporates the sounds of dancers performing on a floor equipped with microphones, archival sound, and a live set improvised by the artist. The work investigates non-linear notions of time in the diaspora, where everything is happening simultaneously or in cycles of repetition. Buss Demon Choat explores themes of cultural anxiety and societal distrust and takes inspiration from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s remark, “I fear I may have integrated my people into a burning house.”

1 hour long performance installation commissioned by The Shed “Open Call 2019”
