contractual relations

Concept: Unwritten contract of physical contact with object, whilst responding to its agency. Bodies are co-dependant and co-affective.​

​

Method:

  1. Per/form a ritualistic durational intra-action with an object, always keeping physical contact.

​

  2. Apply elements of labour and endurance in the nature of the action, which results in a        modification of your body and that of the object.

​

  3. Respond to the agency of the objects you relate with by letting go of your own power        to control how the action should take place. (Eg. while grating beetroots, the grate            had its own agency of affecting the rhythm of the grating as sometimes the beetroot          would get stuck in one of the ridges.I didn’t force it to go my way, instead I allowed          my body to respond to that interference).
