Choreograph (I) of a Trickster
2024, Culterim Gallery
Work in progress


Choreograph (I) of a trickster is informed by an ongoing research into the archetype of the trickster, hands, shoplifting and nocturnal moths. Orwell once wrote: the distinguishing mark of humans is the hand, the
instrument with which they do all their mischief. Through a choreography of hands and pockets (as a way to enter the body) objects are pilfered and become desacralised. By playing tricks the trickster disobeys normative
rules and defies conventional behavior; openly questioning and disrupting foist authority.
