_{THE SPACE BETWEEN US -

MY WARM BREATH ON YOUR HANDS}_{Sandblasted glass, performance, video installation

Relying
on a simple sand blasted glass sheet

A
single barrier between the one holding it and
the performer licking it

The
performance
cannot happen without consent

But
once engaged, comes the responsability towards the performer

Challenging
the usual inter-personal space we maintain,

the
behaviours we follow and allow
from
others

Art
leads us to accept and encounter what we usually would not

Reconsider
the usual

Questioning
behaviours we have towards others

Work realized in collaboration with Inge van Genuchten, Nadja van der Weide, and Elze Vermaas ;

during
the ART&RESEARCH honours programme

organised
by the Gerrit Rietveld academy and UvA

Performer:
Isadora Tomasi
