Between foam & Origami

Concept and performance: Michael O’Connor

Camera: Lukas George

Editing: Michael O’Connor

Between foam—a line that is there due to pushing and pulling of substances, and origami—an edge that is a line

due to a fold—exists a feeling that is temporary and contextual and partially illusionary. To unfold the origami, the

line disappears as the edge is gone. Wait briefly; the waves recede, and the line made from foam is gone. In a world

where perceived lines are seen as static and bodily lines are the ephemeral or imagined ones, foam and origami

produce lines with the same vulnerability as the moving body. Between these two concepts, I can also disappear

when I organize my own movement around their structures.
