Waiting
Watching
Waiting
watching
waiting waiting waiting
Nobody comes by.
Nobody comes by.
Minutes,
minutes are slipping,
shifting faster than I realise
There’s a stranger outside the window,
waiting too,
waiting for somebody.
Who is this somebody?
Somebody
somebody
somebody
somebody
somebody
Am I the somebody
Am I somebody
Playing somebody
Sitting here waiting for the other somebody
The stranger is playing too
Playing the waiting for the other somebody
Somebody’s watching me
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody to love
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody to love
Hey Somebody,
What’s your name?
Somebody.
The work comprises a series of experiments, a methodology in designing the self: mirroring exercises, becoming others, and transforming others into versions of the self. These designed situations question whether human consciousness can be objectively tested, and whether we truly exist as stable, knowable beings.
Identity here is treated as fluid, performative, and socially constructed. If the self is a rehearsal, what happens when others join in?
Through drama techniques and participatory encounters, the work probes the boundaries of selfhood, both internally and externally. And perhaps empathy, our capacity to mirror and be mirrored, is the strongest evidence that we are here, present, and perceiving one another.
