Performance ART; an alternate
reality. The cultural context of being multi–racial/multi-ethnic 1st
and 2nd -generation immigrant is seeded into my work. Memories and dreams become a pool of reminiscences of
which to choose from, exploring gender roles, values, sex work, class,
institutional struggle, financial challenges and power rituals. Costumes of recycled materials, repurposed objects, and food
as props, these art objects become symbols challenging the multiplicities’ of
social engagement. Exploring vocal sounds through free-form experimentation with
communication; the various tones and timbres of the human voice, language and
the thoughts they provoke. Placing
performances into social spaces, homes, public buildings, bars, streets,
rooftops, exe., heightens the experimentation of the participatory. Blurring
the lines of perception and bearing witness to the spectacle.
“ The spectacle is not a collection of images,
but a social relation among people, mediated by images.”
Guy Debord, The
Society of the Spectacle (chapter1, #4)
