Swamp Rose is a sound collage including guitar loops, field recordings from South Carolina, and ASMR techniques to relax the listener. During this sound installation listeners lay down. Here is the description listener's read before entering the swamp installation:
Swamp Rose is a 1:1 performance about boundaries. The run time is approx 14 minutes. You are invited to fill out a boundary map, which will show where you are comfortable having a rose, mist, and hand touching your head, face, and shoulders.
If you are touch averse you may omit some elements all together & list descriptions of what you wish.
You also may ‘fly blind’ without filling out a boundary map.
For the first 7 minutes Lauren will use a fresh rose, mist, and her hand on your upper body in tandem with an audio piece you will both be listening to in headphones.
For the last minutes you will be alone in the space.
Some intentions:
In the space you are invited to close your eyes, but may float them open if you wish.
You may stop the performance at any time by holding up your hand.
