POST APOCRINE
(2020) installation, 4 hours performance
Produced inside apocrine glands, milky, oily, it seems like that its journey will be infinite. If I lift my arms over my head, I can feel it running down my ribcage, convex and concave turns, breaking the symmetry of my body. It is a stream of pleasure, but also fear, worries, segregation, but also content, relaxation, calmness.
EMOTIONAL SWEATING
Physiology: Apocrine – relating to or denoting multicellular glands, which release some of their cytoplasm in their secretions, especially the sweat glands associated with hair follicles in the armpits and pubic regions.
Through a series of “meditative” actions this performance aims to navigate queer narratives and power dynamics within the performers relationship, the space, and the audience.
