Five Situations explores the conscious entry of a human body into the movement and behavioral strategies of more-than-human beings. Through embodied experiments, the project challenges anthropocentric hierarchies and develops forms of empathetic, more-than-human embodiment. The performative situations create mutable hybrid relations between bodies, objects, technologies, and the audience, revealing hidden perceptual connections as the basis of a performative ecology.
