Genesis 38:14-15 ()

Genesis 38:14 sees Dozier enact a nonconsensual collaboration with James Turrell’s Sky Pesher by performing a pole routine inside of it. The meta commentary of nonconsent mirrors the allegory of the first account of a sex worker in the Bible, Tamar in Genesis 38: 14-15. Tamar, recently widowed and forced to live outside of the city walls as a single woman, sells sex to her ex father-in-law by way of stealing his sperm so that he would be compelled to marry/claim her and her child. Through movement associated with both erotic and modern dance, Dozier traces the narrative trajectory of Tamar as both an exiled and revered figure of erotic potential inside and outside of Turrell’s Sky Pesher.
