Atrophy 1– House of Names (2008)

Work description

The project conveys the artist’s ironic confrontation with her name and identities which have changed countless times throughout her life for different reasons. Ayrin Ersoz reflects these atrophic moments in a performance of interactive video, music and dance inspired by Calvino, Galeano and Kundera. Denying the direct gaze and all forms of representation on stage, the performance offers the audience a chance of self-confrontation.
