“whenever you get there, there is no there there”
this work takes its title from gertrude stein’s remark in her memoir, everybody’s autobiography (1933). I find myself inhabiting surreal circumstances amidst social distancing and movement restriction controls in an already impossible world. I consider the form of the digitalized “live” work as an absurd paradox. in this performance for the camera, a dancer is seen starting over and over again from frame left. -- THERETHERE single-channel video 00:09:51 concept / choreography / performance : jee chan video / dramaturgical assistance : stefan pente curated by anna tregloan for the liveworks festival of experimental art 2020 presented by performance space at carriageworks (gadigal / sydney) and online 22 october 2020 |
