Chronicle One: Grief

Suicide can be a very public death whilst simultaneously an intense private experience for those who grieve. In Chronicle One: Grief, three women reclaim this experience and give an audience public access to a private world. The piece takes the form of filmed and photographed actions performed by Joanne Lynne, Angela Samata, and Lisa Vint. Capturing a moment in the journey of bereavement, the women offer us an essence of their experience through self-determined action. Each action is particular and unique to the individual woman, but together form facets within a landscape of the collective experience of grief.

Created through a year-long collaboration, Chronicle One: Grief has been a process of coming together to discuss, to make sense, to collectively express the unsayable.
