Sometimes I make the shape of a hug with my arms and imagine you inside it

Realization and Premiere: Hopkins Hall Gallery, Columbus, Ohio, September 2021

A cross-disciplinary installation of scenic design, video, and original music, this work was the third part of a triptych I made in 2020-2021 in response to the pandemic. The project experimented with relinquishing control to spectators and the mapping of emotional territory in song. It was a collaboration with a dear friend of mine who I could not see throughout the pandemic.

Concept, Text, Video, Music: Tom Dugdale

Performance: Tom Dugdale and Anikó Pethő
