Shana Moulton’s dreamy world is inhabited by Cynthia, her alter ego. Cynthia is a psychedelic lady, a playful impersonation of escapism, the pursuit of personal fulfillment and happiness, the promise of self-healing and spiritual improvement. Alternative remedies, sacred sculptures and crystals, and secret pathways through bedroom furniture comprise the hallucinatory space of Cynthia. In This organ wants this, that organ wants that, Shana Moulton interacts–as Cynthia–with a video projection that she has created herself trying to harmonize her organs.

Esperia Palace > 1st floor > KINO

Shana Moulton’s dreamy world is inhabited by Cynthia, her alter ego. Cynthia is a psychedelic lady, a playful impersonation of escapism, the pursuit of personal fulfillment and happiness, the promise of self-healing and spiritual improvement. Alternative remedies, sacred sculptures and crystals, and secret pathways through bedroom furniture comprise the hallucinatory space of Cynthia. The 10-part video series Whispering Pines 10 follows the protagonist's search for health and total happiness through consumer objects within her virtual home, creating comic, contemplative, and surreal situations. The mundane objects in Cynthia's possession act as portals into her own overactive subconscious, wherein hallucinatory sequences explore the nature of material and spiritual concerns in contemporary culture.
