SERAFINE1369

Body-focused artist, dancer, and researcher SERAFINE1369 explores systems that shape perceptions of time.

Somerset House Studios resident SERAFINE1369 engages with ideas related to the body, science, time and ritual practices of cleansing, clearing, and healing in this new large-scale durational work We can no longer deny ourselves.

We Can No Longer Deny Ourselves

First presented at Somerset House in 2022, the multi-room installation combines dance, sculpture, video, and live performance to build an ‘exploded clock’ in which crystalline mineral timekeepers from the Earth are juxtaposed with an “exacting” scientific context of time. The artwork introduces us to their thoughtful practice, which perceives dancing as “an attempt to engage with the complexities of embodied experience”.
