Fortune Chalme, Remove/Release, Performance, Video 5:37, June 2, 2021
[Alternative text: Remove/Release is a video-recorded performance at the beach. The camera faces toward the ocean with the sand, ocean, sky, and performer in view. The performer is dressed in ocean blue leggings and a grey sweatshirt facing the camera. She first appears holding a piece of driftwood. The performer uses the driftwood to draw two large circles in the sand. She sits in the middle of one of the circles and proceeds to dig and throw sand from that circle into the other circle. As she digs out one circle, a pile of sand takes form in the other circle. When she is done digging, she sits and lies down in the hole, her head resting on the edge of the dugout hole. The performer climbs out of the hole and walks backward toward the ocean while facing the camera. She stands by the ocean looking at the hole, and then she runs and jumps on top of the pile of sand. Breaking down the pile, she kicks the sand and moves it around and flattens it further with her hands. She sits in child’s pose, then begins to rise and stand.]
