Description
Summary:Here, we found varnished shallow troughs installed in the ventilation grids of the main room's side walls- Minimalist objects built from resin and wood and filled, during the performances, with milk-and a Matthew Barney-esque, teardrop-shaped basin in the middle of the space, which was filled with water and whiskey throughout the performances. Imhof, on the other hand, employs dance to establish an aestheticism that moves outside the capitalist body's infrastructural understanding of sex, toward a shared androgyny in which desire appears distributed across bodies rather than bound to their gendered identification.
