..ism project space, Den Haag

A while back, I went to a group performance at a museum in Belgium. Afterward, I asked people around me, “How was it?” because I didn’t quite get it. They all said it was good but couldn’t explain why. This happened a few more times, and I realized “good” was just a default response, meaning they understood what happened.
Recently, I got to be part of a collective performance with eleven other artists in Den Haag’s …ism project space. Instead of trying to interpret everyone’s performances, I decided to jot down my immediate impressions on pieces of fabric. I picked out the most striking words and combined them into sentences, forming the caption for the event.

Selected performances from fellow artists:
