In the blink of an eyeamphibian dreamsIf I could fly I would fly (1987)

Collaborating with choreographer Elizabeth Streb Lucier constructs a suite of dances in which the human figure is abstracted and isolated within a natural landscape Structured in three segments the work suggests the evolution of a mythical being moving from a black void to a natural landscape and then into an aerial world Fragmenting and isolating the physical body in space or in relation to simple elements of landscape Lucier evokes themes of confinement the struggle to defy gravity and a metaphorical desire for transcendence
