The Daily Life of Poseidon explores the simplest ways to compile the body, movement and senses together: A body presents its daily routines in its own time as if there was a secret geometry governing the whole world: a violent story told in a demure manner. The story goes: Once upon a time, there lived gods, kings and a vast universe. Here, the minutest moments in the body were lived with utmost care, almost like breathing. This piece if a simple compilation of such moments.
