1639 Steps, 2016, 45 minute performance, Visions in the Nunnery Gallery, Bow Road, London

I positioned this performance in the courtyard of the gallery as there was a tight ally way in which the audience would have to walk through to see the other performer. This meant that they were forced into the performance, having to interact and question the movements within the confined box. The actions being made were exhaustive and repetitive which references an everyday activity. Placing this into a small confined space made the performance rhythmical in the performers movements, which isolated and ‘othered’ the performer from the audience. The dark clothing and hood/hat made the artist into a dark protagonist which created a contrast between the audience and the performer aliening him from them. This was to draw the audience in, to question the identity of the figure but the audience remained separated by the box, almost like it was a physical wall between them and the performer.
