Hair: Sexuality, its own life, object, texture, identity, hiding, exposed, female monster.. wilderness. I bit rock and roll.
Objects: body and movement with my collected/discarded objects: bringing them alive and in relation to my body.
Nudity: body and objects, how this reads..
Eroticism/fetishism: Sexualisation of objects as metaphors. On their own or in relation to the body. Objectification/vs sacrilisation of body and objects. The material.
Layering of text/with movement... eg reading random german from dictionary/language as a power system of exclusion/inclusion while improvising between objects, actions, movements and symbolic meanings. Random.. but very fertile space for meaning. Also movement alongside lines from some of the text/ from bureaucracies/emails/contracts/personal emails in response to online sites. Playing with voice, satire, objects, movement, improvising was very fruitful and interesting.
Ritual: Objects, dance, movement, the body, as sacred ritual, however fucked up or random. The Mixture of everyday objects I have personally discarded, moving between notions of 'sacred' and 'unsacred' fluidly through inclusion of texts/spoken : from memory or read from emails or books, mostly from memory, slowed down.. turned into song... 'played with' and subverted into my own sacred ritual.
Dancing with the laptop was pretty funny at the end, something very weird about our relationship to technology as sacred, like my computer is my boyfriend or something.
Residue: Objects in the space without the body but the impact of the body/my body upon the space and objects..
I am interested in the line between abject/grotesque and beautiful, in performance art/psychomagic/surrealist symbolism .. I am looking for this.. and then also the feeling and the space between text and movement, the space created by improvisation and the opening of something like tarot- into fertile possible, random or synchronous spaces.. uninhibited by rigid systems like bureaucracy. The deconstruction of words and meaning through internet systems/bureaucracies and online email encounters and the power or violence of these systems... the subversion and magical transformation of these in the sacred studio/art ritual practice of movement, meditation, art, reflection, bodily impulse, dialogue with self and objects, mirrors, cameras and music.. technology and strange alienating discarded objects and how they change meanings, how meanings alter within the liminal space between 'sacred' and 'unsacred' particularly in terms of 'power'.
