TIME IS MONEY
A series of 50 short duration actions carried out in a fluxus style list, I explore the absurdity of particular movements and try to resist the consumption of my body, it being forced into a duality in performance of event, and simultaneous making of memory.
​
I use short duration not only to challenge the art worlds fetishisation, hierarchy and standardisation of 'duration' meaning long duration, but also to resist the accelerated natures of late capitalism.
​
Time in Money was researched while on a one week residency with Studio Ilka Theurich, Hannover, Germany.
