The title, Sacrifice to the Seaworm, refers both to the sea gods who launch the first birthing in BXBY and to the burial mound at the centre of this new installation. Formed collaboratively with writer Tenzin Mingyur Paldron, the large projected film features Paldron reading an adaptation of his essay, ‘Virtue and the Remaking of Suffering’.  Read together with Tenzin Tsomo and filmed by Tsewang Lhamo, with interludes from the song of return ‘Aku Pema’, played by Tsejin Bhotia and another musician, Paldron’s essay follows a letter by Vietnamese monk Thích Nhất Hạnh and the actions of 170 Tibetans. The essay calls for thinking beyond narratives of pity or resistance to comprehend acts of self-immolation and their relationship to present-day suffering.

Accompanying the large film projection are three films that feature the artist Jade O’Belle, who also appears in a central scene of spawning in BXBY. Moving beyond the binary between birth and death, as well as the personal and planetary, O’Belle and Chang constructed a ritual for O’Belle to end a cycle of inherited burden. O’Belle uses the physical body to identify, expel, transfer, and intentionally kill residues of past actions.
