Performance

Garments, hangers, suitcase, paper, chair. 
Audio narrations uploaded to SoundCloud.
Variable duration.


I wrote down the story of each piece, the expectations and fantasies I projected onto it at the moment of purchase, as well as the relationship that ultimately developed. The presentation of the work took the form of a performance in which I interacted with the audience, sharing some of these stories while the garments hung on a rack. The original labels were ripped off, and each garment was instead given a tag with a QR code that, when scanned, played an audio version of the corresponding text.
