Written from a place of elsewhere, of not yet, perhaps never, arriving, my practice-as-research performance Unmade, Untitled focuses on the loss of 'sense of place', a symptom of modern mobility, and migration. The piece uses non-food materials (incorporating nonedible symbolic materials, specifically joss-paper and red packets) as an intervention in the semiology and affects of everyday foodmaking choreographies and its relation to identity. The following question is addressed: how might un-belonging be performed? The resulting gastronomic ritual of unmaking is performed with and through various surrogates, which connote displacement and the reembodiment of past belongings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
