2021. Performance at SÌM Residency Open Studios (Reykjavík, Iceland)
2023. Performance at Jornada de Puertas Abiertas (Madrid, Spain)
The bed is one of the few places where you can do nothing, because doing nothing is permitted there.
For this performance, I asked strangers to do nothing but lie down with me in my bed, to explore other ways of sharing it outside the laws imposed by heteropatriarchy and systemic violence, where the act of sharing a bed is understood as sexual consent.
In this piece, together, we learn and create non-violent bonds that go beyond words, sharing an intimate space that became public for a day during the Open Studios in July 2021 at the SÌM Residency (Reykjavík, Iceland).
Lying down becomes a radical position against systemic violence and a stance of resistance.
This performance was enacted once more in 2023, during the Jornada de Puertas Abiertas in Madrid, Spain.
