The Body As A Two Way Mirror (2024-2025)

Chloe Sobejko and Tiana Demetriou

The Body As A Two Way Mirror is a workshop series faciliated by myself, Tiana Demetriou and dear friend and colleague, Chloe Sobejko. This project is a sensory experience which explores the intersection between philosophy, nature, creativity, and somatic practice. This project offers participants principles to explore the ways the five elements, fire,earth, metal, water, and wood are mirrored within our bodies; with the intention of deepening our connection to the earth, oursevles, and encouraging collective healing. Drawing from relational aesthetics and social practice movements, The Body As A Two Way Mirror focuses on human experiences, sensory feedback practices and participatory engagement as the medium of exploration.
As practitioners of the healing arts, both Chloe and I are committed to sharing concepts, practices and insights we have acquired from our clinical and creative practices, to encourage the observation of self, and the world. Our work is rooted in the belief that connecting to our bodies is an act of emancipation, and a direct challenge to the systems that keep us separate from nature. Specifically, systems that require us to desensitise, in order to dilute our power. Through this, we seek to encourage how connecting, sensing, and feeling our bodies, is inherently tied to the healing of other bodies, community and environment.

Ice Scupture, created for The Body As A Two Way Mirror, Water (2025)

Conceptual Contribution: Chloe Sobejko and Tiana Demetriou
Production: Orlando Esquivel Martinez and Tiana Demetriou

An ephemeral work exploring inheritance, embodied memory, and the ways the past continues to move through us. Drawing from Chinese medicine, the work considered the relationship between water, fear, and intergenerational transmission. Through a somatic enquiry into power, control, and relational conditioning, it examines how inherited patterns shape perception and behaviour, while asking how they are maintained, adapted, or transformed within a lifetime. The work was interested in instinct, and the body’s capacity to metabolise experience and generate new ways of relating. 



Deep Listening and Acupuncture (2025 - current)
Tender, 535 Sydney Road, Brunswick

A communal acupuncture performance for listening and observing. An invitation to notice as resistance, both in sound in the room, and sensation in the body. A curated selection by Tender plays while acupuncture is offered by myself. This practice encourages deep listening, presence, sensation, awareness, and perception. The evening begins with an introduction and a short reading from seminal texts informin deep listening concepts.
