The UnfIXING INSTALLATION IN Galleries

    THE UNFIXING installation IN Community Gardens

    Video documentation of two site-specific interactive installation events previously presented by the Electric Ladybug Garden, Harlem, and the Green Oasis Community Garden, East Village,  NYC .

    Summary

    An interactive  site-specific video and sound installation event by  Nicole Betancourt and Bray Poor with Video Engineer Jeremy Allen  exploring the interconnection of the human body and the Earth through  the experiences of loss and illness. Grieving for the ravages of climate  change, like grieving for lost abilities with a chronic illness, is  ongoing and often involves fears about an uncertain future. “Unfixing”  refers to moving out of a fixed position created by fear as a reaction  to pain – a shift in perspective allowing pain, but also wonder and  connection.

     "I got lost in it in a way that allowed me to take/make my own  journey, prompted, inspired by the images and sound. As I looped between  the installations, I found new images as new north stars and set off.  It was a unique thrill."
