HOME
solo performance, 2022
The object- performance HOME examines the complex relationship between the female body and domestic material worlds.
In the artists first language the words heimlich/unheimlich have a multilayered meaning. Heim is the home, whereas heimlich both means homely and secret. Home is hidden, that what is not to be seen in public. Unheimlich, the un-homely, means uncanny. That what is not homely is uncanny, maybe threatening. What happens when the familiar, protective material worlds of one's own home become a burden, a threat? Who is watching, what remains hidden? What can be seen from the outside and what is hidden behind fear and shame? Identity and materiality are closely linked and simultaneously repel each other. The body can be treated as an object, but is not one, and at the same time the objects themselves seem to become subjects in the struggle with the body - resistant, full of character. Identity and perception are constantly in flux in HOME, shifting between the secret and the uncanny, they are not static, never finished. The seemingly familiar can become the unknown and vice versa. In a free spatial arrangement, HOME offers a five-minute platform in which the protagonist's personal struggle with her own material world becomes tangible without offering a resolution.
