reach a deeper intuitive state from which to draw material for their performance. During the sessions, actors were directed by Ben Azar to move around the space following imaginary vertical and horizontal lines on the canvas, tuning themselves to their own body and feelings while maintaining an acute awareness of others’ movements in the space; during that time Cabessa worked with diluted oil paint on the canvas, alternately adding and subtracting paint. This resulted in a four-hour live performance, video and large-scale painting. In early 2019, Cabessa created “Living Room”, a temporary painting installation that takes over the living room of an old Brooklyn apartment. The 100-year-old building is set to be renovated in the course of 2019. The piece took eight full days to complete. Cabessa painted over the entire space, including the walls, floor and furniture - lamp, table, chair, couch, etc., using the vibration of her own breath to dictate the rhythm of her brushstrokes. If the painting gesture is usually associated with fast and intuitive movements, in this piece it becomes the result of a very slow and careful observation of the breath. This piece marks the beginning of a new direction in Cabessa's work.
