Encirclement by Beili Liu.
Thistle is a fierce plant well armored with sharp prickles all over
itself, from the stem to leaves to flower buds—much protection for its
soft purple flowers. After blooming, the plant sends out feathery white
thistledown into wind.
Encirclement is created with hundreds of thistle plants, stemming
perpendicularly from the wall, outlining two silhouettes of a standing
and a bending figure. The performer then positions herself inside the
thistle field, disguised/ camouflaged with thistledown. The beautiful
plants surround the body as if protecting her, while she is in fact
being embraced by the countless thorns of the plants.
