Performed entirely from their bed, using multiple camera feeds, projections and immersive sound design, witness artist Corinne grow wings, transform into a bird and escape into the woods outside their window.
Disabled, queer self-portrait artist Corinne has spent the past six years bed-bound due to chronic illness.
From this 2m x 1.5m place of confinement, they have created The Severed Wing
A poetic live art performance exploring their lived experience of disability and isolation.
Using multiple camera feeds, projection and immersive sound design, the performance is streamed in real time into theatre, performance and gallery spaces, creating an intimate live encounter between one physical space and another.
Corinne said, “I live by the woods and hear birdsong from my bedroom window
daily. Watch me, a disabled artist confined to bed, transform into a bird - my true
self - and escape my confinement. I hope to spark conversations on how housebound artists like myself can share live work remotely — and help shape a more inclusive, equitable future for the arts.”
On September 26th, join us to experience the work, commissioned by Lowry, streaming live from Corinne’s bed to audiences both in-venue and online at Art Riot Collective, Coventry.
