Dancing On My Own

Performance
2018
Variable duration (1h-2h)

 

Dancing On My Own is performed during openings or exhibition closings.
With my eyes hidden by a sleep mask, I dance for two hours to a playlist created especially for the occasion. Each time the performance is reactivated, I create a new playlist and the sleep mask changes, displaying a new message.
With this process - borrowed from Félix Gonzalez-Torres - I choose to isolate myself completely from the spectator, rediscovering for two hours the state of freedom of the teenager dancing alone in his room. The space becomes in my head a video set, creating a gap with the spectator that I voluntarily exclude from my "party" and who sees me dancing in silence.
