“This is the living room edition. It’s the notebook episode. This is where things get personal.”
Matilda Tjäder presents a new performance in the wishing for more cycle; a performance series by a fictive entrepreneur whose subjective form is increasingly fragmented by continuous transformation. Learning and un-learning from its environment, its subjectivity—like water—flows, seduces, and breaks. A void opens onto another zone in which a new map is drawn, “but remember, the map is not the territory.” Taking place in the midst of sound and visuals, each episode draws from its site-specificity whilst rendering the invisible visible. With a bouquet of nettles, Tjäder welcomes you to her chamber. The performance is the culmination of her residency at LACA (Los Angeles Contemporary Archive) this April and a reiteration of a recent performance shown at The Geffen Contemporary, during the LAABF 2019.
