Inside the Day was Night is a site-specific time-based project developed by Liljana Mead Martin and Caitlin Chaisson on the occasion of the 2017 solar eclipse. This particular eclipse was an opportunity to consider the tenacious choreography between the sun and the moon, the passing of two bodies, and the pull of cosmic forces on terrestrial life. The artists created a four-day series of choreographies with props and improvisational actions in three locations on Salt Spring Island, the occupied and unceded Coast Salish territory (Tsawout, Tsartlip, Pauquachin, Tseycum).
