1, 2, 3 birds Know the hands I keep Under my pillow while I fall asleep This rock by the river side Heard my cries she slowly died. Annulment. softening. All my dead babies running that way. This dirt knows my secrets I play the rain sometimes I cry when I talk. This tree watched me burn her. Bubbling. This forest watches the trains The beast that brings the galleries The girl that followed the bunnies there. Mourning. The girl that sits on the train All my dead babies going that way. What kind of mother sits on the train? The train is a kind mother. The train sits The mother sits The girl sits The river flows The rock knows And the babies ran that way. #art #snow #fashion #poetry #dance #painting #movement

“No more rotting” A four hour trance ritual imprinting memory, chaos alchemy and release. A performance piece I did six months ago for the Montreal Fae Festival. Posting to celebrate 2 months sober! Here are just some moments from this trance. It was very intense to create this. This was the grand finale of a destructive couple years on my body and soul. Leading up to it I intentionally engaged with the monsters of addiction and rambled with the old spirits and ways of myself, surrounded myself with old communities, I studied and dove in. A farewell to the beautiful lessons and deepness of the dark. We create the darkness, I was always too ready for anything. “Why do you venture into the dark corners of life?” “BECAUSE I AM THE SUNSHINE”. I spent hours going through old voice memos and pictures of all the times in my past I was “fucked up”. I printed them all out and plastered them to my body. Drowned in the soundscape. Immaculate trance, I barely remember what happened during this performance except moving through pure instinct, and engaging the closest I have with trauma since the actual events. All memory poured into the potion. Collections of heightened objects, haunted and energetically flourished with pain and love. With each past version of myself plastered on my skin, that girl flew away, free. Explosions rushed through me, every emotion aggressively dancing until I left my cocoon, crawling into the crowd smashing a train nail on the ground. The crowd that was slow dancing to Joni Mitchell showed me love and lay with me on the floor. I sobbed for what felt like hours on the ground. Half dead. So much had just been released. The character I had created, the epic story I was so obsessed with creating, the addict of deepness and adventure finally gone. The last months have felt like the rebirth of true life. Real light fills me for the first time. An epic full circle of death and rebirth. I take back my true power grateful for the lessons of the dark. #performance #performanceart #healing #release #art #festival #costume #soundscape #creation #dark

Tu danses comme une fleur 🌸 Pour moi, ma maman, c’est celle qui fait la bouffe végé la plus réconfortante. Une dessinatrice avec une imagination hors de l’ordinaire. Timide et tellement classe, mais aussi celle qui craque des jokes grivoises pis qui me fait crampers ben raide. Elle dort avec des jupons superposés, enveloppée de dentelle, et porte des casquettes de baseball. Elle nage encore comme une petite fille, et se balancer au parc fait partie de sa routine. La personne la plus travaillante que je connaisse, capable de faire la job de trois gars, si pas quatre. Douce et sensible, mais incroyablement solide. Funky, unique, féminine, extra. Une vraie battante, remplie d’histoires. Celle qui me réconforte, m’accueille et m’apaise comme personne d’autre, jamais dans le jugement. Elle est une ballerine, une danseuse de la rue, de la mer, de la vie. Le plus magique, c’est qu’elle danse aux moments où on s’y attend le moins, toujours avec le sourire et son cœur d’enfant. Ça fait longtemps que je rêve de faire un film en parallèle avec cette chanson, en hommage aux contrastes de la vie, et j’ai eu l’honneur qu’elle danse pour moi, une improvisation qui me chavire à chaque fois. Tout ça en collaboration avec Liv Kanoa Hussey, une artiste multidisciplinaire incroyable! Pour la fête des Mères, je voulais offrir ce film spécial ♥️ Ma mère, c’est elle qui m’a appris à danser, même dans l’adversité de la vie. Merci maman 🌸 Et bonne fête des mères à toutes les mamans ♥️ Avec : Camil Zôl Musique & paroles : Mary Zôl Arrangement : Jeannot Bournival Co-réalisé par : Liv Kanoa Hussey & Mary Zôl Cinematographie & montage : Liv Kanoa Hussey Costumes, concept & direction artistique : Mary Zôl & Liv Kanoa Hussey

MAKING ABORTION POETICALLY ACCESSIBLE Calling all artists who have experienced/been touched by abortion, reach out to me if you would like to be a part of a collective art project. Abortion is intertwined with the regeneration care of the land and all of life. We too exist because someone down the line knew it wasn’t time to extend the family root. It is the harvesting of plants, my baby is enjoyed by the universe like the child that picks the strawberry off the bush. New growth eaten by the bugs. A radical ritual of cleansing space for new life. The magic to flip the worlds of mother to spirit mother. We learn to understand the importance of both and the duties and gifts each reality holds. One year ago I experienced the most magical thing I have ever done. I was pregnant. I read the words “incinta” in a little cafe in Barcelona. I weep through the streets. On three days of no sleep I walk a pilgrimage with my baby first tickling my womb. I laugh like I never have before through the rain. I fly home. I spent two weeks in deep trance roaming the spirit world with my little girl. We both decide what we will choose. Shaelic and deer hold me close I grieve. Ritual after ritual Healing with the land of my home Bleeding into the willow tree How can I explain the magic of that summer? Now, I feel an overwhelming need to make abortion poetically accessible for all. When I was pregnant I desperately searched for any kind of art or film about abortion that could allow me to understand what was going on in the language I understood. Instead the only kind of creation accessible to me was posters for abortion rights or against abortion rights. You can easily find hundreds of beautiful artistic responses to motherhood, pregnancy, even miscarriage but not abortion. I want to live in a world where we have the privilege to create and share our poetic responses to our abortions without first prioritizing political art to support the rights to our own bodies. It truly is one of the most profoundly human experiences one can go through just as much as childbirth itself. Rest of caption below in comments #abortion #abortionissacred #abortionart

SHAÉLIC A FILM BY: Liv Kanoa Hussey and Rowan Chiavassa EDITED BY: Liv Kanoa Hussey Vimeo link in story highlights Me and my love in the hills of England. We had reunited south at a small castle after meeting atop the ol man of storr, the beakon of the Scottish highlands, once the fairies had completed their love spell. In a small England town we stumbled into the winter droving fair, we danced with the masked people and their candles. Then we went home to a magical circus world of stories and wanderlust. Then off to the hills we pilgrimaged for days with the sheep and created this film. In time it had been revealed we were writing our very own prophecy, a ritual of tales. Thanks @wanderlustsgypsycaravans for driving us into the hills. #film #pilgrimage #oldfilm #cave #art #filmphotography #magic #ritual #circus #filmstills #dance #fish #filmmaking #creation
