left right, right left explores manipulative relationships. The interaction and contact between two entities, 2 physical bodies, create the space for shifts in gender paradigms and power, opening up possibilities for multiple interpretations.

This work is in two parts: a photograph and a video projection. Together they serve a double function (duifungsi). First, the work as a whole should function as a "window" into historical period and the research carried out in that period by my mother and myself into cognition, agency, propaganda and art. Second, the work as a whole should function as a "mirror".

The monoperformance unfolds at the intersection of technology, genders, and sexualities. The position of the performative self within time and space has been destabilised resulting in a dynamic site which embraces transgenders and transexualities, and a new understanding of social and emotional policies. S/he gives birth to a piece of digital char siew...?

A lift attendant of a cabaret club thinks he's in love with a drag queen. The drag queen is the only reason why he feels his stay in a foreign country is tolerable. The only problem is he does not believe that she is a he. Instead, he believes that she is the one he has been waiting for. The team from Lift My Mind would like to thank...the lift, with this message - "Thank you for making it possible."

"Everyday" situations and the physical being are highlighted through video, language, text, body parts. What is/are the connection/s? Picture in the Mirroring presents this challenge, inviting audiences to investigate and make their own connections.

Glaringly over-the-top and fluidly surreal. There is a "thing" at the bottom of the pool, or isn't there? A man, obviously obsessive-compulsive and occasionally paranoid, loses sleep over it. A woman, apparently unperturbed, challenges him about that "thing" in the pool. Somehow, a taxi-driver is involved. Go figure.
