I wanted to say
stop the car
i wanted
to open
the door
and stand
barefoot
in one of the
slow
melting islands
between
the trees
The house was empty
as I performed
an act of bleeding out
and thought of tenderising
sap
surrender
seepage
the viscosity of the liquid and
the weight of the flesh
she said it looked too medical
and looked away
too close
Nicole Zaaroura is an artist working with photography, sound, moving image and installation, to explore through documented performative acts, notions of intimacy and distance, the meditative and discordant, in both public and private locations. It is a practice rooted in encounter, and an investigation into the brutal tenderness within journeys.
