Overload

Duration: 20 min
Materials: black stretch dress, foam letters


I try to eat and digest all the information in the world. Oversized foam letters accumulate around my body as the black stretch dress expands, constricts and distorts my movement. The task is impossible from the beginning, yet I keep trying.
As the letters accumulate, my movement becomes increasingly reactive and restricted. Repetition does not open time here; it compresses it. Too much arrives at once. Attention fragments and the body struggles to contain it.
Information no longer helps me orient myself. It begins to occupy the very space from which I try to think, move and perceive.
