"The Coldest Day of the Year" takes place in a future where a cataclysmic event has made tracing a coherent meaning of the past and recounting a narrative of the present impossible. The narrator believes she has seen another being in this destroyed landscape. She attempts to find this figure and recounts a journey that traces the shadows of her presence. Using temporary sets, props and collaged images, "The Coldest Day of the Year" recounts an attempt to understand an ever shifting horizon and possibility of dwelling.
