Lili White / House of The Gentle interprets eight hexagrams from the  
classic text oracle of the I Ching, or Chinese Book of Changes, thru  
gestural performances set in Nature, Chaco Canyon, and Shofuso, the  
Japanese House & Garden in Philadelphia.
Lili White performs in Nature’s stage set; her form suggests a bodily  
connection to a dream logic—that is no logic—no answers posited to  
--?--— What was the question?
The form derived from authentic movement, a technique of  
improvisational movement practice that allows its participants a type  
of free association of the body, started by Mary Starks Whitehouse in  
the 1950s as "movement in depth". Perception was the ultimate theme…
Regarding the East’s treatment of landscape:
“…Nature as a reflection of consciousness: eschewing traditional  
Western schemes of landscape as monumental & eternal…the East’s (view  
is) the notion of landscape as ephemeral form and infinite process,  
like Chinese landscapes (that) achieve a dynamism to suggest something  
numinous and wonderous beyond eternal form.”
– taken from a museum comment card
The I Ching is a "reflection of the universe in miniature." Its  
hexagrams represent descriptions of certain states or processes, using  
the essences found in Nature as the basis for its descriptions. There  
are a total of sixty-four different yet archetypal forms of energy  
described. The “gentle” refers to wood or the wind, both are gentle  
yet penetrating powers.

Versailles in the Sky by Sabine Mohr is a luminous painting of an  
aerial plan of Versailles, the palace estate of Louis the Fourteenth.  
When flashed with a light source the painting will glow in the dark.
