Counting Corners
intent intense in tents
Three tents inhabited three impostors. Intimately seductive spheres a momentary encounter to seize fragments of a story alone. A lonely camper awaits an intruder. An overwhelming interior filled with objects to evoke all senses. The witness freely invades a private bubble, interacting with the unfamiliar surroundings. Each tent provides the intruder with an individual performative moment, conveying a state of being, an attitude, or experience. It is private and personal, no one knows what goes on inside, the experience is between two people, all eye contact and physical interaction remains a secret.
The performance evokes nostalgia and displacement, locating past in relation to the present moment. The intimate setting provides a sphere of dreamlike narratives.
