In this session we discussed the performance work of Hannah O’Flynn, Dust Floating in the Dark // A Disenlightened Dream, done with the help of Litchi Ly Friedrich as a performer. The performance meanders through thoughts on around ocular-centrism, colonial tools for control, binary thinking, the Enlightenment and the metaphorical constructions of light and dark, and Dutch windows.
The session then developed into a discussion on the possible violence of metaphors, and traps of binary thinking.
Presenting: Hannah O’Flynn
