- Untitled SpectacleWe live in a period where performance has found itself in the midst of the mainstream media; Its encounter with the spectacle and its social power, urged the performer to become grander in order to command the attention of an audience bombarded with an excess of visual stimuli. I call this process the spectacularisation of the performer and this is what I am examining through 'Untitled Spectacle'. Video Link: https://vimeo.com/125183618
- Look at meThese collages were created using stills from the live performance ‘Look at me’ and textiles. ‘Look at me’ examines the psychosynthesis of the queer performer, whose efforts to narrate a personal story are misinterpreted by his audience as a compulsive need for attention. The performer is left disheartened and confused. ‘Look at me’ also explores the dynamics of my sexuality and gender fluidity in a social context via performance; The body language and facial expressions seen in the collages capture the genuine awkwardness and confusion of a queer performer living in a heteronormative society.
