Suspended closure, suspended
Suspended closure, suspended
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
ReadWhat we wrote about it at the time: Jimmy’s performances are eloquent and limpid: sensitively and suggestively, links between ideas and objects are carefully implied and revealed. They rethink identity, language and selfhood as an ongoing process, rather than a pre-construction we must adopt wholesale. With subtle mimicry and quotation, restrained gestures and language, Jimmy makes visible the vulnerability of bodies: of how through a subtle form of feedback, the body becomes an image of the social situation it is experiencing, even as it contributes to that situation.
