Jerome AB’s At Once Terrifying and Equally Freeing (2021) is a mixed-media installation, movement video, and soundscape.
A case study in surrender, the work consists of an artifact, once buried beneath compounded terrain, now displayed within the museum walls. Its provenance unaccounted for, the 12’ high metal structure operates like a time capsule, nestled in excavated ground.
Inside the enclosure is a three-dimensional video file, attempting to relay a psychological unraveling captured in real time. Past glitches of lapsed memories, the video’s subject comes to a road diverged.
In one instance, we can choose to find comfort in the cards we have been dealt, to live life on life’s terms. In another, our circumstances can feel like they are closing in on us, with the only option left to fight.
What starts as one figure, splits, and fragments into a multiplicity of being. At Once Terrifying and Equally Freeing explores the existence of two seemingly opposing truths that can co-exist as one reality.
Set to a deteriorating meditative score, a self-help spiral featuring multi-instrumentalists Eartheater and Jasminfire, AB’s At Once Terrifying and Equally Freeing explores what it means to relinquish control and to find courage in faith.
Jerome AB’s At Once Terrifying and Equally Freeing is organized by Puppies Puppies (Jade Kuriki Olivo) as
part of Toby’s Prize.

Large, Deep Pit_was a fashion presentation of a wearable textile-art collaboration between Merritt Meacham and Ty Roach, formulated as a performance, choreographed and directed by Jerome AB.
The cast entered the space in their street wear just as one with the audience and were then stripped down to blank canvasses, translating physical information in response to five beacons of movement as Meacham clothed each body from the pit.
‘Large, Deep Pit’ was performed December 2016 at The Glove in Brooklyn, NY.

Authority Figure
A collaboration of perception manipulation w/ choreographer Sigrid Lauren, this site specific-installation utilized mirrors and lighting sourced from Nitemind inside the multi-level stage, reflecting the spectator watching themselves watching a projection in the back of the room of the performance happening live in front of them.
AUTHORITY FIGURE was a social psychology experiment that merges choreography, sound, and installation for an experience that asks the audience to consider their own relationships to surveillance, big data, and policing.
Authority Figure took place at Knockdown Center May 20-22, 2016.
