In recent decades the influx in culturally diverse wellness clinics has labeled a style in both architecture and a way living. This desire for complete inner health is explored in Chloe Stevens’s video ‘Green Screen”. The flowing arrangement of rocks, lily pads and crystals promotes tranquility while generating a utopic landscape typical of Japan Zen gardens. As the replicas of figures perform varying movements of tai chi, a poetic flow of ritualistic gesture is created. The therapeutic relationship between body and nature and the harnessing of energy through tai chi initiates how forms of motion can stimulate a catharsis for our imbalances.
