D. Denenge Duyst-Akpem, 1 year, 7 months, 9 days, 7 hours, 1 minute, 34 seconds, 2024, performance, 2024, CALM – Centre d'Art La Meute, vidéo : Théo Dufloo.
Durational art is not just: “ Go to the museum and they gonna watch you do this thing and push your body for 3 hours ”… I perform my pain for you, and then what? Are you gonna be there to take me to the doctor? The Institutions or spaces want us to perform our pain, but they are not there afterwards. They are not taking responsibility for what comes up in the body. So the contract [with CALM – Centre d’Art La Meute] included osteopathic body work as part of the performance in Switzerland.
