A figure entered the gallery from the street. She brought luggage based on cultural privileges and heritage into the space, turning them into movements and actions, in dialogue with the space and the people present. She contrasted attempts of communication with manifestations of her inwardly world, a jumble of signs, images, emotions and open ended questions, who are we here, now, together? Questioning our common references, our shared languages, our insider understanding - addressing you, would you be able to respond?
The audience were invited to share this experience, to bring something in, to take something out, to decipher what they saw - which like reality here and now, there and then, would be raw, irrational and unpredictable.
