This
piece was one of Otalvaro-Hormillosa's first experiments
with performance. It consists of the first version of
"Address to the Academy," which was later incorporated
into her first full length show, "Memory and White
Love." The rest of the performance involves choreographed
movements and sound as well as "Devil Bunny in Bondage,"
a story/performance about mixed race identity, inspired
by a short story about rabbits, blood and absurd constructs
about femininity, by a modern Japanese woman writer, Kanei
Mieko. The piece was performed at Brown and during her
semester abroad in 1997 at the School of Oriental and
African Studies/University of London, at venues such as
the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Glass House and
Cyberia.
