Sun dances asks what is time, ambiguous time, when it is looped, when we are focusing on a window corner, as we often do without it claiming our attention or time; how does the everyday feel when we slow it down and focus on it.
Sun dances marks out that sense of unexpected festival that is there for those who seek it in sudden momentary arisings and fallings away. The moment calls us, mesmerizes us. In this piece- the momentary dance of sun is looped and slowed down. We can watch it forever. What does that make of the moment- what is the moment when endlessly looped- no longer fleeting but allowed to endure. Does its endurance return the moment to dullness?
