Shih-Ying Hu 胡仕穎 MFA Visual Studies Thesis 2020
Ecointimacy
It is my love story with the earth. I practice building a relationship to get closely acquainted with my inmost nature and external environment on the grounds that I wish myself to live ecologically. My performance art represents both my physical and spiritual intimacy with the environment, and the mundane, ecstatic, and difficult parts of these relationships. It shows a mirror of my relationship with other people. I connect my performance art to the environment to explore and express human intimacy with the earth and our ecology.
