protoPLAY

2 (Two): The work is informed by protoPLAY’s ongoing investigation into collaboration and issues around notions authorship contemporary society the problematics of individual identity, and strategies for group creative space.
Audience put their head through holes under a raised platform, on which the performance is taking place. Underneath other audience members would see headless bodies, and above, disembodied heads would surround the performance area. 2 clearly destabilises the clear split or boundary which traditional structure of the spectacle makes between the audience and the performance. Whereas traditionally the passive subject is emphasized by watching actions made subjects and objects from a far, in 2 the head, the actual priviledged seat of the subject is made into an object (separated from body) on the floor, which is then plays an intrinsic part within the performance space.
