(AN)OTHER aka THE OTHER(ing)  was an interactive
improvisational play & durational installation
which subverted the roles of the self & the “other”,
questioned the definition of the subject,
the function of an object, the state of human
& non/post-human relations, while situated
in a hyper-voyeuristic, cookie-cut “natural” world ---
where physical & virtual realities invert & overlap.
​
​
​
​
as (AN)OTHER you are relentlessly watched
& scrutinized, constantly forced to face your fears;
in this case, those fears are manifested
in at least one physical subaltern body,
in close proximity or via social media;
you are your own hybrid specie --- a mountain lion,
a golden coyote, a silk-feathered human owl ---
and whether or not you're an actual cyborg
at this point, no one knows.
​
​
​
​
participants from the audience were allowed
to enter (AN)OTHER's space by taking a snapshot
of (AN)OTHER from the mouth of the entrance ---
or through any of the frames dangling around
& encircling the space's circumference,
prior to entering.
​
​
​
​
before exiting, the participant must post
at least one image or one piece of footage taken inside (AN)OTHER's space onto at least one
of the participant's social mediums  ---
with the hashtags #ANOTHER & #JOHNPATRICKAYSON
