Bageion Hotel, Omonoia, Athens Biennale 2015
GOMENES I, project curated by Evanthia Giannakopoulou, Rilene Markopoulou
Duration: appx. 35 minutes
Through repeated and oppositional actions the performance is trying to shed light to the gap or the missing reality between gender and sex, between doing and being. What is built is immediately deconstructed, what is experienced is at the same time embodied. The Real, as Lacan has put it, is always absent, discontinuous, an impossibility to be written or fully expressed thus deeply traumatic. But it’ s at this very absence of understanding that we tend to push our boundaries and open space for the unrevealed. In that sense, there is no true identity performed here, only the ever-renewed distance from finally registering it.
