In Dana Caspersen and William Forsythe's "Knotunknot", visitors are invited into a social choreography that is realized in two distinct and simultaneous parts. In one, visitors collectively assemble and disassemble a knotted object (work object), which, like society, is mutable and dependent on the strengths and intentions of its makers. The corresponding section is a series of structured conversations between visitors that examine how we shape our society based on our beliefs, assumptions and values: what we do, both individually and collectively, and why we do it.
