After all that has happened, what still hangs in the air?

Air:Time is a performance art work by Parker RopeBoi that presents dynamic aerial movement to address issues of history, the present moment, and queer bodies in space. In this performance, the textile architecture of ephemeral tensile structures elevates, as rope and body mutually manipulate and reconfigure one another in a fluid, mobile sculpture. This performance engages questions of social bonds, boundedness, and boundaries, and the potentials for their transgression or transcendence. In these times of precarity, Air:Time considers the suspended body, in its vulnerability and its potential energy, its uprootedness and uplift, its contingency and entanglement.
