Borrowed from G.I. Gurdjieff’s speculative cosmology, the Kundabuffer was an organ implanted at the base of the spine to prevent humanity from recognizing its place within a larger cosmic order. Occupying the beds as strange corporeal presences, Porsager reimagines the Kundabuffer as a series of biomorphic organs bearing the names of Solita Solano, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, Jane Heap, Kathryn Hulme, and Karen Blixen – women associated with the literary, artistic, and spiritual circles surrounding Gurdjieff’s thought.
