Works & Process at Guggenheim: In the Folds of Her Purple by Xin Ying

Martha Graham Dance Company principal dancer Xin Ying presents excerpts from her new work In the Folds of Her Purple, in partnership with Onassis ONX and PS21. An interdisciplinary artist, Ying explores the intersection of movement, technology, and digital legacy in her works. In the Folds of Her Purple draws inspiration from Martha Graham’s iconic solo Lamentation. Created with generative AI and volumetric film, the piece is not a recreation, but a response—a contemporary performance shaped by the living bodies who have stretched, trembled, and breathed inside her purple tube. Ying joins a moderated discussion and excerpts are performed.
