REUSABLE PARTS
/ ENDLESS LOVE
2011 ｜DURATION VARIABLE
Reusable Parts/Endless Love is a score-based, interactive performance installation for a rotating cast of dancers, presented on a potentially infinite loop. The dancers transmit and transform the instructions for a kiss between a man and a woman into a machine-like production of unscripted representations of intimacy. Each manifestation of the work begins where the previous one left off, accumulating endlessly for the duration of an exhibition and the life of the project.
