KING JAMES VERSION GENESIS CHAPTER NINETEEN

0.0 2015 | 8 min

How religious narratives, particularly the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, shape moral and territorial frameworks while exposing the instability of interpretation itself. By adhering to the biblical text yet acknowledging the multiplicity implied in “version,” the piece confronts the impossibility of pure transmission of divine meaning. Its motion-captured performance translates scripture into digital ritual, reflecting religion’s performative repetition rather than belief. The transformation of human movement into clay-rendered 3D data underscores both the futility and faithfulness of human attempts to reproduce the sacred, where visible imperfections become signs of humanity’s flawed mediation of a presumed perfect divine source.
