MurMure
2014-2015
Performance
Materials:
MurMure/Shopot is a performance in which musicians play from inside a wall. They wear, as it were, a wall. Performed for the Moscow Biennale 2015, the work was born from an interest in thinking about the ubiquitous, almost constant performances of self we maintain and enact in our net- worked reality. In contrast to this constant management of our profile, the perfor- mance attempts to use concealment as a methodology. The performance simultane- ously hints at a contradiction between the anonymity of the producers of the objects that we use to perform these public selves, versus the innate desire within the self to be known, to be recognised.
