Lacuna


1993-2021
performance: 20 mins
single channel black and white and colour HD video | Super-8mm | 3’49” | silent


In this performance to camera, the artist carefully washes a recently acquired ankle scar. The action is repetitive, purging, but precarious. The space is dark, domestic, interior and claustrophobic. Silence intensifies the desire to impose control over lost memories.
