Bruissements polaires

Format: Performance
Looking for clues to decipher what you're seeing is the job here. Me as spectator, I have to be be quick. The room is small and very crowded. The Artist is of small stature and dressed in a very trendy teenage street-look of dark colors with hooded jacket. She is chewing a lot of gum and making it into astatement. She addresses us in french and with the crowd it is difficult to see her or understand her. She points to the air says something in French (German translation: "Das ist eine leiter, und das") then to the floor says (German translation: "ist eine Eisbärenfell"). She puts her hood on, sits on the floor in a posed style as if she is the subject for photos. It becomes more obvious because she changes poses like if she was doing a fashion shoot. She suddenly stops, gets up and asks to turn off the light, spits out her chewing gum, puts on a head lantern starts to read in avery strong accent in German. She reads from sma11 paper sheets things like: ...was ich muss ...was ich wollte... Marshmallows essen und Kühe beobachten... ich bin nicht, wo ich sein möchte aber ich habe es so gewollt...
It seems to be a sort of diary or observation notes. Curiously, she storts to eat parts of the notes. She then stops, puts on her jacket backwards pulls her hood over her head creating a surreal effect of her head as the front. She continues to pose in different ways showing she has really studied how to make the reversed body look like it was the front. Associations start to emerge, the child like model, the masking or protecting of the self, the fashion attitude and the willingness to comply...
