“Sorry”

Performance Art(30 minutes) 

​

​

- What am I sorry for? Sorry for not equalling the glossy images of women, images that are simulations of our collective fantasy. Sorry for performing the rituals which should keep me in line with an idea of a standard set down by people unknown.

 

“Sorry” is an installation style performance exploring modern day expectations and rituals, with a high quantity of wine and paint. Inviting the audience into her world, she lets us explore her whimsical beliefs: her behaviour, clothes, emotions and drinking problems.
