Exposure
Exposure is an investigation into how we look, how we are looked at and if we can ever really be seen. This intimate one to one performance is a tender and tentative look into autobiography, asking how fully we can reveal ourselves - to ourselves, to another, with another.
This work is informed by my relationship to albinism, a genetic condition which affects my pigmentation and my sight, complicating both how I physically see and experience the world and how I am seen and perceived within it.
“An extraordinary 10 minutes which considers not just how we look but what we choose to look at too.”
“Simple, beautiful, evocative – authentic!”
