Hyphae  is about the elemental uncertainty of time and space. It was created during the Covid19 pandemic as a collaboration between Cárdenas and UK artist Bev Hayes.

Cárdenas, who has been practicing tai chi and meditation for years, directed and performed a choreography among trees resulting in an elliptical installation. Hayes captured the performer in her creative process and natural environment.

With Hyphae the artists imagine a world where all types of humans and nature forge their duality into a oneness, thereby living in harmony or mutualism. The transformation that happens to the space in the forest during the performance and experience of flow is a metaphor for transmutation and purification. The work suggests dichotomies of isolation and connection, visibility and invisibility.

A scene of Hyphae is included in the film Choreography In Time And Space, created by Timespecific as a collective collaboration.

Hyphae handlar om osäkerheten av tid, rum och varande. 

Cárdenas, som har tränat meditation och tai chi i flera år, regisserade och utförde en vandringsmeditation och en koreografi i en elliptisk träformation. 

Verket är en metafor för transmutation och rening. Hayes fångade artisten i sin kreativa process och naturliga miljö. 

Med Hyphae föreställer konstnärerna sig en värld där alla typer av människor och natur enar sin dualitet och därigenom lever i harmoni.
