Pierre Joris & Nicole Peyrafitte will weave & braid their individual & shared travails.
Domopoetics is the name Joris & Peyrafitte give to 34 years of daily practices in transforming & intertwining their lives & works, be it through writing, painting, video, physical conditioning, cooking & all other shared household activities.
Karstic refers to the geological phenomena of dissolution & transformation at work in the formation of superficial or underground limestone topographies. Here it is taken literally & figuratively as nature & cave explorations are an important part of their process.

and other locations, who have agreed to partner with us.
