Portland Institute for Contemporary Art presents BodyCartography Project: Full of artifice and animal appetites, the work Super Nature engages the wild, the domestic, and the civilized aspects of human nature to create a radical ecological melodrama. In an empty gallery, one member of the public meets one performer and has a non-verbal interaction. Both performer and audience have agency to transform the energy of the space through their behavior and social interaction.
