from stepping on, to not allowing crumbling
In April 2020 I started a practice that was initially focused on stepping on and has now transformed into caring.
I wanted to make a performance collecting shells from the eggs I have eaten in order to continue performing by stepping on them and reflecting on the ephemeral and intimate relationships with everyday objects or food. My goal in April 2020 was to collect many so that one day I could step on them all.
While collecting, the material offered me a different relationship. At some point I developed another kind of relationship with the archive. The eggshells in a supreme `'need' of care.
From 2021 I was involved in a position of a caretaker instead of steping over. That shift made me reflect on the practices of care and their politic implications of care in our society.
"For crip time is broken time. It requires us to break in our bodies and minds to new rhythms, new patterns of thinking and feeling and moving through the world. It forces us to take breaks, even when we don't want to, even when we want to keep going, to move ahead. It insists that we listen to our bodyminds so closely, so attentively, in a culture that tells us to divide the two and push the body away from us while also pushing it beyond its limits. Crip time means listening to the broken languages of our bodies, translating them, honoring their words."
Ellen Samuels:
In 2023 those approaches led me to become interested and enriched by the artistic practices of Claire Cunninhan and their team with their reflections and artistic practices on care, choreography of care, acces, and questions on institucional structures that are normative.
