Abigail Duffty

Performance based on the ritualised activities of everyday life. Using oversized objects to highlight the humour of the activities that give us structure and assurance. The performers repeated their given tasks whilst reciting the manifesto over and over again.

I must obtain
And give myself structure
I must gather,
And hold onto all that is given to me.
The absence of control leaves me without,
And throws me unwillingly into the absent of madness.
To encounter oneself
within the substance of the tangible nature of every human being.
I must have,

I must eat,
I must wash,
I must brush,
I must drink,
I must be clean,
I must uphold these observations of activity, in order to behold the sanity of life.
