DOUBLE BEING — when the two dance, the one becomes the third. This art is the holy child. Sincerity and sensitivity induce receptivity. The body is our beloved instrument. Attuning together. Somatic melody. Dialogue as movement. Imagery as mantras. Rendering visible that which has been made hidden. Self reflecting nakedness amidst the potent emptiness. Without projection all that remains is the mirror.

DOUBLE BEING is the visionary artist duo of Marisa Papen and Michael Chichi. Their work bridges photography, poetry, film, publication, design, objects & music — exploring body freedom, relational polarity & interbeing.
