In a subtle fusion of literary ritual, sociological experiment, performance, autobiography, and poetry, I also knew this not only re-thinks the role of authorship but does so right before our eyes. Interdisciplinary writer, artist, and video maker Sarah Rushford delivers an imaginative “video project” that is at once unsettling and inviting. No spoiler alert here, there is a real thrill seeing this work for the first time without knowing exactly what’s happening. A world premiere in Good Symptom.
