Drift

Overview

Submerge yourself in Drift, an artistic performance designed to expose your own vulnerabilities while exploring the constitution of your own personal security.

Cross the threshold into this dimmed arena, and find your way to a vacant vessel, illuminated and welcoming. Artist Julie Vulcan will attend to you, make you feel settled and secure. Fix yourself with a headset, and settle into the waves of calm, sharing the experience with other individuals in their own vessels. Wait for the light to fade out, along with the sounds and the sensations, before making your departure.

Drift and the vessels within the immersive installation provide a place for thought and reflection, and an opportunity to connect with friends and strangers sharing in the darkness and quiet; a common denominator that will bring to the fore peace in being or insecurity of the unknown.

The works of Julie Vulcan strive to “shine a light in difficult places”. She encourages questioning and continually perceiving our world in shifting ways, and so facilitates contemplation in her site-specific works. Drift is but one of many works that navigate the human psyche, and so participants will submit themselves to safe hands as well as a journey unlike any other.
