Autumn Knight

NOTHING: more is an anti-still life, a composition of objects and bodies constantly in flux. In this work, performance artist Autumn Knight experiments with the porous boundary between parts and whole, object and body, configuration and abstraction. Throughout its duration, three performers move objects of varying size and texture into momentary compositions. While one performer constructs an image, another comes to disrupt, reinterpret and at times conglomerate with their body and/or more objects. The performance itself resists identification, narration, and legibility; instead Knight starts from nothing and never veers too far from it. This is a process of making the self, a constant state of renewal that takes our parts to create and reconfigure out of necessity. And there is always more; more to be done, rehearsed and assumed, creating both more and nothing at the same time.
