UNTITLED

Untitled. Two large forms — Styrofoam, metal, cloth, reinforced — occupy the space together. One is suspended, swinging like a metronome, occasionally meeting the other in motion. At times the encounter feels like a polite gesture; at times something more forceful. The passive form holds its ground. Between them, a tension that never quite resolves..

Among the materials, a piece of cut cloth — embroidered with a nod to Marilyn Manson: Eat me! Drink me! Tell me that you love me! — an unsettling discovery. As the form swings, the words becomes momentarily visible before disappearing again. Demand and tenderness, insistence and erasure, offered and withdrawn in the same breath.

Sound anchors the work: a piano, its improvised notes accumulating, pressing against the stillness of what doesn't move.

Inspired by the rhythmic domestic logic of Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, the piece thinks through cycles of labour, performance, and endurance — structures quietly reinforced over time, and the charge that builds inside them.
