In her solo exhibition, Becoming Human, Pauline Jennings critiques the dichotomous relationship forming between human and wild in the Anthropocene era. Her three-channel video and sound installation The Air Connects Us, captures two dancers’ chaotic search for nourishing connection in the urban landscape of Shanghai.
Pauline Jennings' Becoming Human was directed by Double Vision choreographer and co-Artistic Director Pauline Jennings. Becoming Human is a collaboration with Calvin Aham and Joshua Lacourse (movement), Sean Clute (music composition), Jessica Gomula (video direction), Stefan Jacobs (lighting design), Amy Nielson (costume design), Allen Hahn (cinematography), Jack B. Du (photography).
