The best part of me I gave you,2017 - Webcam-performance, 60:00 min

Exhibited at Nord art 2017, the danish pavilion.

 

In my video performance I invite the viewer into a fictional chat room.

A private room – my own bedroom – is presented to the viewer in which there is lip-synchronisation to the song

"Resentment" (Beyonce: B'Day 2006) for an hour, until the chat connection is disconnected.

The interaction happens in a constructed reality where I carefully has chosen what i

s shown, and what is to remain inaccessible to the viewer. I investigate through a self-staged performance.

Questions about authenticity, a mediated relationship between the work and the viewer and finally the private room

introduced in public. The exhibitionistic approach experienced in this work presents its viewer with questions about how we

in different ways engage the role as observer both in a physical and a virtual world.
