Abstract Partition
2024
Abstract Partition is a two hour long performance work for the festival In the Park, organized by Weld.
– 50 meters of paper, in two sections of 25 meters each, standing 150 cm high—or wide—accompanied by the artist’s voice through a waist-mounted speaker, gloves, wooden sticks, tape, staples.
A paper roll of twenty-five meters. The aim is to stand it upright, supported by the vegetation. In open spaces, additional support sticks are inserted, placed in opposing pairs or passed through holes in the paper. The paper becomes a backdrop to the greenery.
At one point, a horizontal line is drawn with moistened earth and a grass brush, guided by the liquid level in a bottle. The paper’s curvature shifts in the wind, necessitating adjustments to the line. The site as a flow. A blackbird coexists with the paper and its installer in the thicket.
