installation and costume performance at HFBK
clay negative with wax coating, gelatin cast with tulle and PE rope

Quotations are scratched into a clay surface, revolving around the idea of a formless body. Foucault’s poetic text “utopian bodies” is opposed to a critique of capitalism based on the concept of pliability. The clay surface serves as a negative mold over which gelatine is poured. The result is a transparent, flexible version of the text. A light yet brutal metaphor, the liquefaction of a carnal body itself. A person following the course of the quotes will find the very same idea of a non-physical body transformed from a utopia to a dystopia and back. In my performance I did exactly that: by wearing my casting as a costume, I dress in this contradiction and narrate it along the quotations.
