Extreme orgasm is achieved and we no longer hold fear in Living- according to Wilhelm Reich (peer in psychological analysis to Sigmund Freud) this "orgastic potency" could be harnessed and intensified through a primordial cosmic energy he called, "orgone" by building an "orgone energy accumulator" which could enhance a patient's physical ability to make love with more orgastic potency, therefore improving his or her overall well-being. Orgasm, he believed was not meant for the sole purpose of procreation, but should be used to regulate the body's natural flow of emotional energy.
Daphne's installation as a whole deals with the dual forces of construction and deconstruction involved in any creative process. Remains of broken and shattered musical instruments lay upon an elevated platform and are threaded together with ribbon and wood in a freely flowing matter to a sound installation playing homage to the single note of B Flat, which research suggests resonates at an extremely low frequency from Black Holes; the deepest note ever detected from any object in the universe. Daphne agrees with the current scientific theories stating this sound holds direct connections with the organization of matter. For this reason, she asked composers David Marshall, Rachel Bell, and Derrick Barnicoat to use their inspirations from this note in creating a soundtrack to her performances. As a painter, Park relates this performance installation to exactly that, "To me, I am painting here, a moving drawing on the wall, spacial in both 3-D and Time."
Having spent years with the Zapara people in the Upper Amazons of Ecuador, Daphne also showcases two precious wild harvested and handmade hammocks, one of which is communal, providing the support needed to hold 20 resting adults. Both are symbols of constructive and deconstructive force in the histories they have endured.
This Saturday, celebrate life-force spiritually and collectively by getting inside the SuperConductor for some soothing transference of energies-
Because you can never have too much 'orgastic potency' and if you agree with Wilhelm Reich the best cure to our body's neurotic states is to have an active, guilt-free sex life.
The SuperConductor is New York City's own contemporary Orgone Energy Accumulator created for us by Daphne Park.
Experience her creative force now through this Saturday at Honey Space.
