ASICS
2022, performance (ca 10 min)
Jogging shoes make the body light and bouncy against hard surfaces. In this performance, the jogging shoes have a different relationship to each other, and the body they own. They wrestle and caress each other, thereby dictating their host body; one rubber sole rubs against the other, and the friction creates an inert tension throughout the body. The sneakers give vent to a relationship, all while the body remains in a choreography that forces agility.
Performed during Reclaim Pride at Hägerstens Medborgarhus and Rundgång at The Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.
