A re-presentation performance of Revealed Body (2018) featuring new breathing treatment technologies whilst reading an edited version of the performance’s accompanying phenomenological essay.

Bodies with chronic illness may reveal no signs of illness. Bodies with chronic illness endure pain, require maintenance, & cost money. Bodies with chronic illness are both embodied & disembodied. They are bodies in need of technology. Bodies with chronic illness are disabled bodies. Because bodies with chronic illness have invisible disabilities, their stories are harder to tell through visual art. One way to overcome that barrier is through performance art. Performing the disabled body reveals chronic illness in the public sphere, confronts spectators, & calls on others to consider an embodiment different from their own.
