2019

Sawing through stacks of paper, June 17 2019. Sitting in the display windows of the art space in the midst of the red light district, I grew red in the face sawing through stacks of blank paper, a desperate action with only one result: more.

In attempt to come closer to what it means to love institutions and art, I licked and kissed Trixie passionately.

Power Dynamics 1

I became the ‘other’. By the use of black paint and its’ connotations I became a horrifying sight. I walked through the room silently, greeting visitors as they came in. I invited the visitors to play the instrument I was holding through gesture. Asking them to overcome their first impressions and connotations with my appearance. When the visitor successfully produced sound, I blessed them by removing paint from my forehead and marking theirs. The visitors were marked by the interaction and wore a visible sign of the exchange.

The event was organised by Het Zuiderstrand Theater, yet only two of eleven performers were paid. This struck me as odd, particularly because the theme “Queerness” which is derived from Queer theory is meant to highlight oppression and power dynamics. My perfomance became a protest, demanding compensation.
