An old desk loaded with printed texts and books; biblical prohibitions about tribadism and androgynous, psychological, poetry and philosophy books layering. Words are written on the walls, some have been dried and crumbled, some still have the shining of sweat.
Drawing of self portraits hanging from laundry hangers that have been repurposed into hooks, falling from the ceiling; leftovers of smeared words from ink blood dripping from torn fabrics.
The performer actions move from tearing fabrics from the performer suit, rewriting words, and erases the etymological image by hand washing it, to displacing the words and action onto the space.
The performance expresses madness of textual and visual deepening, in transcendental reflection on gender implantation. At the same time, an endless magnetic sound comes from the other side of the wall, where the video art film is projected.
The film is led by an anonymous female character, who’s meeting an androgynous in her dream. The visual and emotional control is projected by the character's journey and surroundings, as she runs through the corridors of a hotel, opening doors that reveal religious texts about sexual punishments and androgenism.
The narrative asks to doubt and reflect on the conservative perception of gender in our culture, and interacts with the performance space. This ignites an inter-psychological process inside the viewers. How much does cultural memory shape us?Guided by Maya Zack and Benjamin Freidenberg
