Solo show
Cukrarna, Ljubljana
October 19 - December 31, 2023
The solo exhibition Dancing Still Life on a Single Breath is the most recent exhibition in the long-term art project Deadtime, which the artist began developing in 2018. For Cally Spooner, “deadtime” is a kind of temporality and an event that is chrononormatively inactive and therefore holds the potential to regenerate life. The exhibition is conceived as a multimedia spatial installation consisting of four sound and visual works. For the sound work, Dancing Still Life on a Single Breath, and for the exhibition as a whole, Spooner used the architecture of Cukrarna’s basement gallery as a scenographic backdrop, in front of which a choreographed dance solo flows in; a dance which is entirely sonic.
