The Severed Wing is a new live art performance by artist Corinne, exploring their limited mobility and lived experience as a disabled, housebound artist. Live-streamed from Corinne's bed using projections and immersive sound design, The Severed Wing is a magical, visceral and intimate live encounter between one physical space and another. "Watch me, a disabled artist confined to bed transform into a bird. Bed confinement is extremely isolating but I live by the woods and hear bird songs from my window daily. I wish to join my feathered friends, escape my confinement and transform into my true self." - Corinne For too long people confined to their homes or beds have a diminished presence within society, but The Severed Wing is a poignant call for change, giving voice and visibility to the experiences of confinement.
