i keep myself up

i keep myself up
performance, life size image printed on fabric
60x170cm
2022

The performance arises after Judith Butler’s text “Rethinking Vulnerability and Resistance” and Bruce Naumann’s artwork “Body Pressure”. Vulnerability and resistance form an equilibrium: if one of the two collapses, it breaks.
I printed the life size image of myself on a piece of fabric and during the performance I keep it up with my hands, trying not to let it fall.
