Domestic Choreography
Medium: Performance for Video, MultiChannel, Single Screen
Duration: 1 min. 55 sec.
Domestic Choreography examines domestic labor through object performativity and partial presence. The work stages a series of mundane tasks performed through “hands-only” gestures, withholding the full body and face to foreground absence as a structuring condition. Rather than presenting the woman herself, the performance centers the expectation of her, and how domestic objects script behavior, discipline movement, and stand in for gendered identity.
By isolating gesture from subject, the work reflects on domestication not as role, but as choreography: repetitive, learned, and enacted without visibility. The absence of the body becomes a form of critique, exposing how women’s labor is normalized, extracted, and rendered anonymous through its own efficiency.
