Sanctuary 

with Ulla Laidlaw

 

In a time of climate collapse, worlds and systems crumbling before our eyes, where are we truly safe?
 

Part of Boca del Lupo's Space Residency Program, June 2018

​

"Sanctuary" can be defined as a sacred space where the profane has been pushed out.  But in a time of climate collapse with no morsel of earth safe from the effects of carbon emissions, the sanctuary has become an extinct and impossible construction. 

 

Sanctuary is an immersive experience for small audiences. It offers a place for contemplating the death and disappearance of the sanctuary in a time of climate catastrophe. 

 

Ulla and Sasha developed the piece through a process that combines research, interviews, and experimentation with small audiences.
