A video-monitor that shows lost property in a Paris metro corridor is the performers’ pedestal. Five abandoned, left shoes, lumped together at the corner of a passage, late at night. A silent pile, lost in the hurry of travellers.
Unknown people have left these shoes on which the artist’s eye fell. What is the story behind these shoes? The biography of those who left them? And why did they? Will they come back to pick them up? Did they walk away left- barefoot and right shoed? Am I supposed to find the ones who wear the right shoes? Or did I stumble into a fairy tale?…
On top of this moving image, the artist stands still. She clothed her head, her arms and her legs with stone-red sheepswoolen gloves. She dressed the parts of her body that don’t need to be; she’s wearing an upside-down, naked dress, on her red- dyed skin.
