Maya Derren- "The Solstice of our Discontent- A Shamanic Meditation"
"The Solstice of our Discontent- A Shamanic Meditation" I consider myself beyond name, age, gender, & nationality. An interdisciplinary artist for over 30 years I use images still & moving, words, sound, installation & performance to explore my obsessions with the impermanent sensuality of Life & Death. In my healing & shamanic work I use the nomme d'plume Maya Derren, the second "r" to show something is mos def ajar. Deren's fascination with VouDon, cinematic risk & experimentation continue to inspire. My work can be found in private collections here, abroad & in the permanent collection of The Geneente Museum Arnhem, Holland, The Ludwig Museum, Köln, MOMA & the NYC Public Library. In this "the new normal", this temple of NOW, we're privy to witness once again the fall of Rome, this time with WiFI.
