Performative Gestures

These performance works represent a group which start from a simple gesture with a disruptive or absurd twist and a symbolic capital. At the core of each of the works is an interest in the public domain. Even when the performances take place removed from public view, their absence is deliberate and important to the work. Serenade and Early on a Sunday continue my interest in musical performance, while Rimalin and Moving House use the ubiquitous objects of beer in Belgium and rickshaws in India as their starting point. In both cases, the subjects have an ambiguity which I attempt to use to draw some of the political complexities of public domain.
