Fabric; Housing
2017, participatory performance & installation
(fabric, thread, needle, paper, pen)
A house could be a small world, a space, a group of inner thoughts, a situation, a binary system of ins and outs, a person; the term is full of meaning and memories of the residents. The structure of the house is bounding the public from the private.
In the Performance Fabric; Housing, the performer asks the audience to describe the ideal feeling of being home and the situation of being out of the house with just one word, that one which cannot be in lack in an ideal Home, by writing it down in a piece of paper (or on the fabric).
After that, she creates a primary form of home by sewing the words that the audience gave her to a transparent piece of fabric, which is going to redefine that bound through the transformation from an empty semi-transparent material into a semi-opaque wall of words.
