The Possibilities of the Photographic Body

Walls Have Tongues
Chisenhale Art Place as part of Studio4 Summer Residencies (2018), London, UK.
Workshops and improvised participatory performance, 35 clay tongues attached on wall, free hanging tongue in textile hanging from ceiling.
Walls Have Tongues was a series of workshops for both adults and children from local elementary schools of East London. I wanted to explore the slippages between language and movement, choreography and improvisation.
The workshop/performances involved various collaborative exercises when for instance isolated words could initiate longer improvised movements. We worked with automatic writing and visualisation of language, for instance the contrasting words “massive”
and “invisible”. I was interested in cognitive and physical relationships through these exercises and found it to be a very curious and interesting process working with both adults and children challenging our inhibitions in various stages in our lives.
