Red Delicious
A video performance work exploring ideas of the body, narrative, and desire through the symbolic re-telling of Eve’s classic narrative. Staged theatrically in one long continuous shot, a luscious red apple, suspended from a string, swings back and forth like a pendulum. The artist stands below, very focused, watching the apple as it moves from side to side, just out of reach. This work navigates the cultural landscape of longing and desire through the lens of the camera as the relationships between performer, documenter, and audience are blurred. Traditional boundaries of gaze and power become ambiguous as the hypnotic narrative unfolds.
