The Color of Energy Performance by Sophie Jung
Sophie Jung's artistic practice moves in the spaces between the material and the immaterial, the explicit and the implicit. Her most recent performance The Beckoning... for The Color of Energy is a provocative reflection on solidarity and exclusion, a thoughtful commentary on how we gather energy - whether through communal support or isolation.
