Knowledge is a problem(2023)

performance with installation

in 17 century Dutch colony in Indonesia, a VOC (Dutch East India Company) missionary discovered moxibustion's miraculous ability to treat “gout” in the feet. Moxibustion was an original local treatment. This “magical” discovery is from an observation of the cure for an enslaved woman. The treatment was brought back to Europe and spread, becoming a permeable resistance towards the destructive power of colonization. 

-who is observing who?

-who should be watched by whom?

Different body states are transitioning through the chanting, navigating and sleeping, in the smoke of moxibustion.
