Shame 2023

Shame 2023

Shame has always come before me in every interaction and every situation. I took my shame out on a date to befriend it. Accept it and understand it like a lover. I don't even know when it became bigger than me. I am finally able to see it as a separate entity. Separate from me. This performance is part of a series titled "Reconciliation".

Scream Jar: A mourning

Countless women are abused, assaulted and brutally violated in their homes and outside. I dedicate this performance to all the women who have been, shamed, threatened, victimized and forced to apologise for their growth, intelligence, strength, resilience, spirit, light, their right to choose their ability to love and for their compassion. To all the amazing, inspiring, strong women in my life and around me.

Between the Map and the Territory

Between the Map and the Territory

a durational action at multiple sites in public space. It deals with mapping the city. The documentation will navigate between the reality of the space, past knowledge/memory and representation of the space as experienced. I observe how my presence will create a temporal geography that will in time be a reality and in future a fiction in an ever evolving space and it’s representation. I walk with the ladder and choose a site where I sit on the ladder and observe the city through binoculars.

Live performance-installation. I through this performance explore the word Home by creating an imagined temporal site where two different habitats co-exist and its dwellers negotiate their parallel existence by performing their rituals of the household until their choreography is confused and blurred while the space becomes what I call an Expanded Home.
