Documentation of a performance
hereish and nowish is a live installation. A choreography of five performative breathing techniques demonstrates a pronounced corporality that one cannot escape. The structural openness of the seven-hour long performance (running in 60-minute loops) allows visitors to decide for themselves when they wish to enter and exit. Over time, communities, liaisons and accomplices occur among the visitors that come, go and stay.
The performative breathing techniques divide the body into polarities between life and non-life. Through breathing, we are weaving symbiotic relations with our environment whereby man created divisions between inside and outside, local and global, nature and culture, and life and non-life—all of which are moving towards a line that crosses our bodies.
In hereish and nowish, the practice of breathing becomes the mediator between the binarities of a contemporary ecological catastrophe, where the use of technologies rebounds to our bodies. Where body and technology can no longer be separated from each other, the catastrophe gains a real material force. In hereish and nowish, life itself becomes the intrinsic form; it is what places this live installation beyond work and reproduction.
