CARRYING STONES

Madeleine Botet de Lacaze

What instincts keep us alive?

Virginia Woolf put stones in her pockets as she made her final journey to the river. Without their weight, would her body have resisted her suicidal intent?

Carrying Stones investigates the survival instinct. Explore the struggle between the impulse of life and the desire for death.

This is a battle which forces state change, an action that fights for vitality, a weight impossible to grasp.

Oddly captivating, beautifully judged
Exeunt

This is a durational piece – drop in and stay as long as you like.
