Gnam enters a world between dog and wolf—entre chien et loup; the twilight time between dawn and dusk when the light is so dim that one cannot distinguish between a dog or a wolf. The hour of transformation, dancing between fear and security, known and unknown. Mirroring Gnam’s experience of increasing uncertainty beyond the safe space of home, this piece lives within structures where time and activity expand and collapse, echoing the complexity of early pandemic memory. James plugs into the playfulness and sense of imagination that his kids taught him anew during lockdowns and isolations. This is a piece made out of the materiality of Gnam’s pandemic experience, but it is not about his pandemic experience.
