Synopsis
LINKS
Twirling, Not Spiraling (2022) is a documentary performance and installation by Lara Saab that includes xerox-printed social/media posts, maps, a series of drawings and sketches, magnets, sand, found objects, sound, and moving images. This iteration of the performance is site specific and draws from research around coastal life along the coasts of Beirut, Lebanon where Saab is based, and Santa Cruz, California where they are currently studying. The material is weaved together from personal archives, collected memories, social media content, and recorded video and sound material reflecting around the sea and the ocean.
