77 Days – An Experience Report by Sissi Kaplan

77 Days: An Experience Report portrays the artist Sissi Kaplan’s experience of isolation, as an international traveller, then as a patient confined in hospital rooms and her apartment. Even as her
loneliness intersected with great personal loss, she concocted fantasies and performances, giving
free rein to both memories and reverie. In the face of enforced and eternal separation, this story
reflects the human desire for connection through acts of creation.
