Do You Mind? (2007)
A serie of performances with naked animal-machines.
The animals roam free and try to escape. A minder looks after them and gently guide them back to a central point.
This is the realm of denuded mechanics, a controlled chaos. These creatures are mechanical but at the same time vulnerable, they evoke strong feelings and bring care out of people, a state of ambivalence that effectively puts you out of your comfort zone. This is the realm of denuded mechanics, controlled chaos.
The piece is scalable and can be tailor-made to suit different spaces, occasions, and time slots. You can unleash all of the animals in a large space, divide them into smaller groups that perform in several different locations at the same time, or choose an appropriate number for any given purpose.
