The project ‘MRI MS’ of performance artist Jatun Risba draws on her lived experience. It’s a story about her détour of multiple sclerosis. With the embodiment of intermediate states of consciousness, Jatun Risba is exploring the transindividuality (Simondon), elusiveness and plasticity of the self. Each ‘MRI MS’ performance is based on the use of a particular body or interface technology by means of which the artist highlights and maps the processes of psychic and collective individuation in the inner landscape. Her performative language Inter-esse (Latin for “to be in-between”; also “be beyond self”), discloses the thinking body in its liminality: breath, movements, voice and contact in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, or at the level of the limbic system. This is the phylogenetically older part of the brains that is responsible for some vegetative functions, emotional reactions, learning and memory and for the release of endorphins, the endogenous opiates. In this liminal state of consciousness the performer establishes a dialogue with the chosen technology.

 

In the participatory performance ‘MRI MS_upside down’ the doers will be testing the mediating effect of perception altering on the awareness and use of the body. What happens when my vision is flipped upside down? What or who has been inverted? What occurs when I inhabit the gap between what I see and what (I think) I am? Stay there and then took a step backwards. And then another and then another …

Cirkulacija2 + RAMPA / Jatun Risba: MRI MS_allone

// performance at the opening of the exhibition Alessandro Di Giampietro: LIMBICO. Whatever you think I am That is what I’m not, Cirkulacija 2, 20.4.17 at 20:30

Alessandro’s art work springs from the observation of human identity and focuses on the multilayered personae in contemporary society. His photography, video installations and performances mix up conventional narrative forms and abolish the walls between reality and fiction. In the context of eclectic, humorous and seemingly fleeting expressions, he creates bizarre and mysterious settings in which reality becomes uncertain and fantasy blends with reality.

At the opening of the exhibition, Jatun Risba will perform in co. with Mamourou Sanou themergingoftimeandspaceAfricaandEuropeancientandimmediatepresencEeecstaticdanceinpeaceinstillness
