Choreographies
of Labo(u)r
(2020)
The attempt of creating artificiality: the paradox process of constructing intimacy. Finding patterns and structures in capturing the ‘Choreographies
of Labo(u)r’ in the very specificity of precise actions and body movements of (undocumented) oversea workers in their field of execution. Thus creating juxtapositions
of diverse acts of mechanical and soft gesticulations that can be translated into a performative act: causing a double bind — the intimate tie between
behaviour and communication — in the collective minds that transpose methodologies of violence and exploitation into the actuality and climate of daily life.
