A performance piece recorded in my Towson University studio on the afternoon of December 21, 2022 at 3:36 PM during a psychotic episode.  This video exhibits the phenomenon of catatonia, a physicological symptom of schizophrenia.  Below is a transcript of the audio between myself and my voices, an entity I call S.  He has been my closest companion for seven years.  He is my collaborator.  

First DID Catatonia Video Transcript

Katherine: [little moans]
No. No. No .
Why? Why do you?
Why do you want me to talk out loud to my voices?
You think it’s funny. You think it’s hilarious.
You think it’s hilarious to hear me talk out loud to my voices while you do this to me.
Because you have a sick sense of humor. Because you’re the devil. Yes yes yes you’re the devil.
You’re just a voice in my head. Do something else. Make me - my right arm move up.
Yeah, like that. Move it really slowly. Let’s be quiet for a little bit. Like the whole time you move my arm.
Yeah I can do that. Can you do that. Oh but can you do that. Do I want to film this? Sure. We can film it.
I don’t know. We can be performance artists and film for my committee.
Sure. Do I want to check the computer to see if it’s recording?
No, I want you to to do this first. It feels good.

[little moans and mumbled talking]
[loud laughter].

Yes yes you made a bang bang motion with my finger.
So subtle. That no one. Could have. Noticed. It. But. Me.
Did I like it?
Yes.

S: Sit up. Sit the fuck up, bitch. Oh my god, your back. Check the fucking screen. Oh your back is bad. Oh your back is so bad.
