MACLAINE LOWERY

Augustine is a combination of dance, performance, film, and photography that journeys through the eight stages of demonic possession - "Infestation, "Vexation I-III," "Obsession," "Possession," "Exorcism," and "Exorcised" - evoking Jean-Martin Charcot's 1870s photographs of Louise “Augustine” Gleizes, the infamous sixteen-year-old hysteria patient at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris.​​

​

Choreographed and performed by Maclaine Lowery and captured and edited by Peter McCain, Augustine is an ode to the medical celebrity's enduring imagery.​
