Liz Magic Laser: Prototype for Convulsive States, selected by Lola Kramer
For Convulsive States, multimedia artist Liz Magic Laser explores the shaking body as a symptom of sickness and a healing strategy, spanning historical and present-day incidents of individual and mass hysteria. For Frieze New York, Laser will premiere a single-channel mirrored monitor prototype from her newly commissioned exhibition at Pioneer Works, which will open in September 2023. Riffing on the ‘smart’ mirror digital fitness coach popularized during the pandemic, the video work invites viewers to move by superimposing their reflections onto the vibrating bodies of spiritual and therapeutic practitioners, such as dancer and somatic healer Cori Kresge.
