Flutter. Shutter. Quiver. Throb. Vibrations oscillate between all the holes and all the folds. Exposed under full house lights, a lone body trembles with the architecture of an empty darkroom. The video component of this work was shot during the COVID-19 lockdown, in the shutdown darkroom of one of Berlin’s oldest gay cruising bars. Through tableaus of nuanced movement, the artist's body proposes an ambiguous future towards abundance and desire. Skin and flesh palpitate with unknown anticipation against porous materials soaked with stale fluids, ghostly utterances, and queer potentials. This is not a memorial to what was once possible, but rather, a proposal to what this space can still become. Always an infinite hole. Always a threshold. The vibrant material of fat and flesh rock in service to ecologies and bodies not yet known.
Tremble is an immersive three hour performance, where audiences are invited to roam, cruise around, come in and out, and tremble along with us if they are moved to do so.
Created by Liz Rosenfeld.
Performed by Ronald Burger, Pêdra Costa, Cassie Augusta Jørgensen, Samir Kennedy, Leah Marojevic, Liz Rosenfeld and Dasnya Sommer.
Biography:
Liz Rosenfeld is a transdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator whose artistic practice spans performance/ experimental choreographies, film, drawing and literary work. Rooted in the body as the ones main informant, Liz’s projects explore complex histories of queerness, shifting community structures, and the ways in which queer positionality transforms in the face of political urgency. With a focus on the sustainability of emotional and political ecologies, placing a specificity on re-occurring explorations such as potentiality of holes, queer cruising methodologies, and entangled past/future political histories. Liz’s work examines flesh as a collaborative, non-binary material, engaging questions of abundance, excess, and the politics of taking up space. Liz’s writing, in poetic auto- theoretical style, interrogates questions around queer art and politics shaped by contradictory desires, the de- linearity of intimacies, and notions around the questions regarding how does one build a body?
