National StoryTelling Week
Untold Stories Event
Mobility Parasites
Acrylic, silicone, canvas, spring wire x performance with JJ Bola
Commissioned by Small Green Shoots
Selected for NATIONAL STORYTELLING WEEK 2018
"Mobility Parasites 2017 is based on materialising the positive aspects of a parasitehost
relationship, in terms of human / species interactions within the self and embodiment
and global concerns with the environment; such as the pejorative perception of migration,
on the new hosting geographical space. My focus is on the interruptive stage and the first
point of contact made between a parasite and host coupling; as an activity which releases a
productive change. I think we can learn from parasite-host relations, as a physical reminder
to embody a sense of making contact with an external environment, in order to make
progress and realise mobilisation is part of the global contract we are embedded in".
