Pulchri The Hague

50 minutes

In this life performance I am doing research with paper and bodily actions to transform the paper in a more natural state. To crumble, crease and rip the paper with the hands, to stamp and crush the paper by the feet, to chew and bite the paper with the mount. This I do together with charcoal, also consisting out of wood but totally opposite quality’s. Paper is made from a natural material, but a white sheet is so smooth and in the same time fragile. Charcoal is much more present and stronger. The performance starts with an interaction with the public to connect.
