Description

望穿我們之間的隔膜,你看到了什麼?一位藝術家?一個被囚禁的人?誰囚禁了她?你愛她嗎?還是你憎恨她?你想對她做什麼?你想對自己做什麼?

Look through the barrier, what do you see? An artist, a prisoner, whose prisoner and do you love her? Do you hate her? What do you want to do to her? What do you want to do to yourself?

Breaking from a plastic wrap by myself was a possible ending of the performance, but I was quickly deprived of the chance to do so at the first hour. In fact, the meaning of the performance (originally more politically and societally inclined) was drastically modified when an audience member tried to bound me to the chair with their own belt. An absolutely vulnerable and surprisingly personal experience about control, pain, loss and love.
