Performance artists: Merinda and Lowana Davies

In sync, explores the relationship between collaborative sister duo Merinda and Lowana Davies as they attempt to synchronise their bodies with one another and the surrounding environment. Through a series of spatial experiments involving a single twisted, black rope, the pair delve into emotional states through movement and uncover actions inspired the slow, constant shifting colourscape of the sun rising through the pine forest. The soundscape by Tom Lyons exploits prepared piano technique to create an immersive experience for the viewer.
Driven by a shared interest in experimental and site-specific performance art, perception, embodied movement and sound, in sync seeks to bring awareness to our relationship with one another and the environment.
