30 Seconds
Action:
Am dressed in white, underneath the dress are installed Christmas lights connected on to a movement sensor, with a 3 meters cable covered in leather. The lights only switch on when someone passes by close to me.
Am in a circular continuous movement, steps are small, short and slow, given in a physical, equanimous emotional state.
The performance takes place in a dark passageway of low visibility. The moment someone goes by close to me, the lights go on due to the sensor. This is an epiphany-like moment, an awakening, which starts a dance with this person where I willingly open and project all my unconditional love and compassion; at the same time the lights turn on and project over this person. The dance takes 30 seconds until the lights turn off, I gently finish the relation and return to the equanimous circle.
Concept:
30 seconds of Life, 30 Seconds of Light is a performance about free, detached, unconditional love.
