Performance at MOCA: Our Place in the Sun

Artists Midnight Piper Forman and Erica Dawn Lyle (working together under the collective name SOBBETH) spent the last three years exploring the ruins of Florida’s 20th-century mythologies. The result is Our Place in the Sun: part film, part installation and part novel, the show at MOCA this Friday features Lyle performing text in dialogue with sequences from the film-in-progress, offering a nonlinear, dreamlike consideration of Florida’s legacies of colonization and real estate speculation through the queer lived experience of a transgender woman living in an unspecified moment in the imminent future.
