Performance & installation

Performers: Loes Gofers, Noortje Verhoeven, Féline Pouwels, Esra Westerburgen & Lola Schot

At the invitation of TAC Eindhoven I made a space-filling installation.
For the performance I collaborated with five performers, I asked them to bring personal stories, objects, and rituals from their everyday lives. These became the starting point for a performative installation in which different routines and gestures came together.

We developed scores (short performances) that were presented sequentially during two ongoing public performance weekends. Below I describe one of these performances:

The space holds various works: draped ceramic sculptures, stacked large spools of yarn with smaller pieces pinned into them, and an overgrowing accumulation of knots. The performer kneels beside a big green sink. She immerses her hair in the water and then sits upright again. I lift a sculpture from the space and begin to wash it using the performer’s hair. She lowers her head into the basin once more, after which I take another object and clean it in the same way. These actions are repeated in a rhythm. After each washing, I place the works side by side, gradually building a new composition within the space.
