Renee Willoughby

Live streaming video by Ustream Renee Willoughby’s final performance titled Your(re) Ideal is an investigation of presence, disembodiment and humanity through a death and rebirth ritual. Within her practice and research based around post humanism and ghosts she has reflected on the power people and their bodies have whether they are physically in a space or missing. What if a body is in the space but not moving, and dead for a day, on display for others to visit? Pretend dead but not completely? Will they speak to it? Touch it? Consider their own death? Will they be affected by knowing other bodies, or ghosts, are watching them watch this body in real time through a web-stream? Will a community be form digitally where all these non physical presences tweet, chat and in various ways engage with each other surrounding the questions of this body, in a liminal state of rebirth?
