Clare Byrne's Weekly Rites

Friday, October 14, 2011

Whatever it is I'm doing in this time, this preparation, this is the place to be doing it. Inexplicably. "All holy desires grow by delays; and if they fade because of those delays then they were never holy desires." - St. Gregory

Monica said...: Oh wow, I love this quotation.

Waiting to see what's real. Of all the little squibs I put in my Moleskine, many of them fade in excitement over time, but some persist, and those are the ones to follow.

Also: THE HAT

Intent

Weekly Rites is a performance-in-progress, a process conducted weekly over five years, posted by Friday evening. It recently came to completion in mid-July 2012.

It has been an ongoing experiment in movement and writing, how with my body, camera and a place, I can perform an old and ongoing function: channelling through movement, sound, image and word. It seems that the rite can have a sort of life, an ongoing or latent action, or curious density. If I've done my job it has continued to accumulate or unfold.

The sections have been chosen from a half hour of continuously recorded performance videotaped wherever I have been that week.

I work from a place of not knowing, from nothing - learning through doing. I don't try to be good, but devoted. You, as a viewer, have always inspired me. I invite you to watch or not watch, do or not do - respond whichever way you want.
