Take the Tangent

In this interactive performance, I invite the audience to play a game on a tablet, an app, while carrying a tent on my back. The app is a quick way to determine who goes first, and is effective at choosing in which direction to walk. The performance shifts between nomadism to re-appropriation of the public space. I am a space invader traveling from faraway, carrying my home on my back. Mobility and flexibility are pushed to the point of absurdity – I expand my body by these dimensions and thus confront private and public space.Patrick Jambon
