Of a Natural Death" - Kaoru Ryan Klatt
Solo Exhibition and Performance
Department of Safety, Anacordes, Washington, USA
Opening with Ponytail, High Places, and Karl Blau
2008

All wires are live and bare. Klatts movements are barely perceptible. Are the inhabitants of the installation animate, inanimate, or robotic sculptures? The sound of gun shots and the quiet honking of geese seem as though they’re outside and overhead.

Divine comprehension through death. This is not a death cult fixation, but the realization of energy transference as a natural process. It is the reanimation of woodland cadavers. The electricity is all around us, if one touches the light, can life in the human form tolerate the power?
