Enigma of an Afternoon is a visual and movement installation – with no intended beginning, middle or end – that addresses various physical and psychic states that have emerged and escalated during the Covid 19 pandemic. Rachel Thorne Germond and Tasha Taylor perform a sort of metaphysical dreamscape, inspired by a trip to the beach on a cold March afternoon in 2021. In this work, we ask ourselves, as we are coming tentatively out of our year of isolation, “How has the world changed? How have we changed?” We are trying to comprehend an enigmatic new reality, and exploring how we can move within it. Learn more about Rachel Thorne Germond Performance Collage (RTGPC).
