Mira Dayal's Performance and Sculpture Explores Mortality and Absence

Mira Dayal, a dancer and performance artist, presents a new iteration of her famous work that plays with mortality and geological time. In a separate piece, the perfumer and sculptor uses scent, sight, and touch to make absent bodies sensible. Her monochromatic sculptures examine vulnerability and danger. Dayal's work is featured in a group show connecting form and narrative, and in a survey of color film and video since the 1970s that explores radical storytelling and color. A semi-improvisational dance series for founding thinkers of the Digital Era also includes her contributions. The artist's practice involves manipulating process and history through found photographs.
