Five Kundabuffer appear resting on, beneath, and emerging from the beds. 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.
