Washing News 洗新聞
Live Performance March 12th, 2019. 3331 Arts Chiyoda, 24th Nippon International Performance Art Festival (NIPAF 2019), Tokyo, Japan. Curated by Seiji Shimoda 霜田誠二
負面新聞或是假新聞在某種程度上給人們下意識地帶來一種精神上的壓力和負擔,尤其資訊爆炸的年代,我們已經被許多聳動的新聞麻痺我們的知覺感觀,「洗新聞」行為作品顧名思義利用「洗」這個動作,也是女性常被刻版映像化所需要做的家物事如:洗衣服、整理衣物、等等,對此我透過行為,把女性做家務事之行為融入與新聞報紙,並重新建立關係。
In the era of information explosion and pressure to constantly engage, we have been overwhelmed by sensational news, sometimes fake news, which numbed our perceptions. This performance attempted to cleanse negative and fake news through the idea of 'washing', developed as a sequence of actions that question stereotypes of who washes and who defines what is newsworthy. Integrating chore actions and newspapers re-established a new relationship with the news and my body to address this daily burden on contemporary society.
