Five Essays On Caramoor (2025)
Five Essays on Caramoor is a site-specific sound walk created by Lisa Coons, comprised of both aural and visual components. The artist says:
“I fell in love with Lucie Bigelow Rosen, in all her varied selves and contradictions. I wanted to weave her life and her home, Caramoor, into these essays: the histories, the stories, and the ghosts. This work is based on Rosen House archival material: recordings, photos, letters, and journals. Essays one and five are tender studies of memory and self; essays two and four are rhythmic ruminations on Lucie’s roles in an imperfect society; and essay three somehow became an echo of the loves and losses of this place. I am deeply grateful to Caramoor for inviting me into this captivating history.”
