Due to the difficulty of knowing interiors and actual being, the fetishization of exteriors and representations, and the difficult implications of this in an instrumentalized culture, Chana tries to find alternative forms of research and ways of knowing. She searches for non-mental information from the body, magnifying its inward subtle physical impulses into structures, gestural notations, and bodily presentations. This post-humanist practice shifts relating to the other into something hopefully more ancient and universal .
