An interactive, transdisciplinary art installation involving live performance, video, sound, and sculptural elements. It looks at the relationships between self determination, dreaming, technology, time, and space, and explores the individual and collective agency we have to manifest in micro levels that evolve into macro manifestations. Pulling from research about non-linear causality, the installation embodies and incorporates the multidirectional and multidimensional effects our actions have. Morgan activated the space throughout the exhibition period, using movement, and vocal expression.

UNDER THE SKIN

2017, CENTRAL PARK, NY

A public performance piece that took place in East Meadow, Central Park, NYC.
UNDER THE SKIN unapologetically displayed to the public eye a reflection on how racism becomes phisically and psychologically embedded inside the body of the oppressed and the oppressor and how that inner turmoil translates to outward response.
