Lanka
Venue: Arch 3 West (i) at The Arches
Lanka is an installation and a performance. The space is knitted out of red woollen string in which the artist performs for one person at a time. The knitted space is a room within a room, a hut-kind of structure suspended by strings into the surrounding room. The actions taking place inside the space explore intimacy, communication and private territories and builds up into a dialogue where the presence of the 'audience' is as important as that of the performer.
