A blindfolded performer uses a tailor’s tape to spell TRUST amid fake news and social distrust.
Video performance
2021

The work reflects the state of trust in today’s society. I am responding to the current situation in the online and offline space. for which many, many were not prepared - fake news, hoaxes and conspiracies and their direct influence on reality outside the online space, and vice versa. What is the level of people’s trust in institutions and can they trust each other? Do we live in a society with double standards? The work draws attention to the issue of trust / distrust through a performative act. A performative act captured on video using the symbolism of a tailor’s tape measure blindfolding the eyes. As a blindfolded performer (blindfolded by the tailor’s tape measure) in a video, I am trying to create the word TRUST from pieces of tailor’s metro measure.
