Muscle jew and the monument : excercises in materiality
This paper situates a critical and reflexive reference to my own recent explorations with the body and
the Monument in two video performance works: ‘Muscle and Jew and the Voortrekker Monument’
(2012) and ‘Muscle Jew and The Miners’ (2013). It is in the cross mediations of reflection and politic
and autobiographical trajectories that produce a distorted and spontaneous similitude (association) of
enactments occurring as re-enactment of engagement between the body and the Monument.
Cet essai se pose comme référence critique et réflexive à ma récente exploration du corps et du
monument réalisée à travers deux performances vidéo : Muscle Jew et le monument Voortrekker
(2012) ainsi que Muscle Jew et les mineurs (2013). Une réflexion liée à des références donent lieu à
des simulacres spontanés et détournés de représentations qui se produisent en tant que reconstitution
d’un engagement entre le corps et le monument.
