Abstract This project is a series of personal recorded rituals employed to reveal a transformation of the ‘I’ and the bodily ego through the tripartite process of separation, transition and reincorporation as evident in a rite of passage. These rituals are performed in nature employing my own body. The works point to the ecofeminist view that women and nature are inextricably linked while referring to posthumanism that seeks to encourage thinking outside of our self-interest, the ‘I’. The project implies that patriarchal constructs imposed upon women are associated with the ‘I’, that is the distinction between the conscious ego which forms the I of the self, and the unconscious of the subject—amounts to what feminist and social theory scholar Kirstin Campbell describes as a “misrecognition” (méconnaissance). I suggest that through ritual, there is an opportunity to recognise the ‘I’ for what it is – imposed. In so doing the concept of the ‘I’ may fall away and provide opportunities for self-transformation.
