In RMN Solnit mixes intellectual issues with their social application, a combination that has been historically referred to as praxis although she doesn’t use the term. She is careful in her memoir, Recollections of My Nonexistence, not to deny the importance of her more youthful authorial concerns but clearly states that she has moved beyond some of them to concentrate on themes more central to her current commitments and identity: the American West, the sense of place, the environment, and feminism. Rebecca Solnit, a contemporary public intellectual, is the author of more than twenty non-fiction books and collections of essays ranging from history to the Western Shoshone to nuclear testing to feminism. Influenced by the writings of Edward Abbey and As Eve Said to the Serpent: On Landscape, Gender, and Art by Rebecca Solnit.Recollections of My Nonexistence – Solnit’s memoir, essays steeped in her honest reflection of an intellectual life well-lived. They share time with one another and engage in 1:1 performer/audience experiences, reflect on intimacy and distance in the desert landscape, and participate in an ambulatory performance indistinguishable from the magnificence of the setting in it takes place. The In-Between was designed for spectators to walk as a group, encountering different characters and moments along their path. Once there, visitors are rewarded with breathtaking beauty and sweeping landscapes. The land is remote-a field station in southeastern Utah, managed by the University of Utah. One must intentionally go to this isolated floodplain on the Colorado Plateau. Medusa invites each of them into her chamber. Along the way, they encounter the denizens of the desert: Echo, Narcissus, the Grey Woman, Turkey, and the Warbler. In this site-specific performance, spectators are led down a long dirt road through the remote desert. Don’t lose track of where you are.” This is the invitation from the Warbler to the other canyon inhabitants and the audience.
