an ongoing investigation of affective body-related labors.
Participatory performance
Weight duvet, the object is used in health care settings, to confirm the body; where it begins and where it ends. An object in which weight acts as calming.
In this participatory performance visitors are prompted to lie down on a bed to get my body weight over them, as I lie upon them, and may decide themselves the time duration.
I. An object, which in its existence replaces the embracing body. I offer my breathing and my weight to enclose the time. I offer the viewer to pause and pay attention to where they begin and end, where their boundaries lie, what gestures that can be replaced with what.
Weight duvet has been performed in different kontext, first time at gallery Platform, Stockholm in 2017.
