art.description.projectI´ve been searching for an articulation and understanding of how artistic methods within performance and live art in public space could be understood and communicated. Metaphors and mythology are frequently used in a simplified and stigmatized way of how we understand this kind of art. With the two experimental bodies, also called hybrids, HUPIA and HUNT, I proposed the word metonymy in my research. Metonomy is a figure of speech in which a thing or concept is called not by its own name but rather by a metonym, the name of something associated in meaning with that thing or concept. The words metonymy and metonym come from the Greek: μετωνῠμία, metōnymía, "a change of name", from μετά, metá, "after, beyond" and -ωνυμία, -ōnymía, a suffix used to name figures of speech, from ὄνῠμα, ónyma or ὄνομα, ónoma, "name". So by using artefacts, gestures and symbols that one easily can understand in a Swedish society I search for an artistic voice and strategy carried by its own language.sv
art.description.summaryDuring the Feminist Strategies week at a-venue I proposed a durational performance where I re-enacted two former performances: HUPIA(2015) and HUNT(2014). They both problematize and expose issues of gender and power structures where the female body is objectified carrying traces of violence, exoticism and oppression. I performed with a body that is notional, obscene and lewd from the perspective of a Swedish society through its symbols and gestures. l was curious to see how my political aims, artistic intentions and performance in public space could communicate implicit and explicit.sv
