Performance in public space II
- 2021
This project examines the nature of performance in public spaces from the standpoint of masks and its role in performance.
The mask is often associated with functions ranging from aesthetic, religious, social and economic. More importantly the role of mask in performance is significant as it is an integral part of a whole (performance). As an essential characteristic, the mask disguises/conceals the identity of the wearer and establishes another.
Interrogating Haussmann‘s architecture (which is significant in Paris ) and using them as material for construction. This was simply a defined process of reconstructing from memory. The concept of performance is being approached from a metaphorical standpoint of masks while situating it as a phenomena in the public space. The project observes public space through these architecture and the concept of mask as an entry point into performance.
I seek to continually test these concepts by using a merge of photographic images, sounds and videos.
