James Gnam/Plastic Orchid Factory
Catching Up to the Future of Our Past
Plastic Orchid Factory’s newest work is a duet for Natalie LeFebvre Gnam and James Gnam that maps the living and shifting territory between memory and possibility. Placing their bodies at the centre of this live cartography, they mark time as both measurable and immeasurable – and articulate midlife not as a static checkpoint, but as a fluid intersection of past and future selves. By exploring the minutiae of their own lived and imagined trajectories, Natalie and James ask audiences to witness not only the passage of time, but its elastic potential: to see how memory propels us into possibility, and how possibility, in turn, reshapes the way we remember.
