PERFORMANCE & INSTALLATION

A trilogy; three lives, three facades, in three chapters

Three women

in three rooms

in three different stages of life

opens the facade and allows us to observe them

in a moment of chaos

their repetitive patterns seem to hold them

suspended…

An interdisciplinary project which combines video projection with a staging

and is a continuous play with the relationship between the private and the public,

between fiction and reality

Each of the three women in these stories exemplifies different aspects of the way women stereotypically lose a sense of control over their own lives due to repetitive patterns they struggle to identify in themselves, in society and in the family structures in which they operate.

This project is inspired by the book "Three lives" by Gertrude Stein. First published in 1909, a modernist book that explores writing through portraiture, cubism and a continuous presence. Stein was also influenced by photography and the moving image—how something is captured, even repeated, but never stands still except in the actual precise moment it is captured. And how we, the observer, need to be present in that same moment.

The project is a combination of architecture, cinematography, performing arts and public space.
