If Eros and Thanatos is the symbolic conflict between love and death (or the longing for completeness and Freud’s death drive), then this performance installation is the process or daily routine of the space between- life and death. The word between indicates that one ends and another begins. They are separate identities linked together, creating relationship between them. It is an exchange between performers, as well as artist and audience. Between.
