cut:
Christo Wallers & Sneha Solanki
A live haircut scene between two performers, each blindfolded and armed
with traditional hairdressing technology- the hairdressers scissors. No
spoken dialogue will exist between the two as they cut and edit, hesitant
and wary of causing possible mistakes as these mistakes cannot be rectified
or undone. The audience witnessed the spectacle of the scene.
The performance was filmed on various formats to maximise its potential
for re-use. While the performance could be viewed in the tradition of performance
art, and interpreted in that context, it is our intention to subvert that
interpretation when the film of the performance pops up in different contexts
from a sequence in a cut and paste film and computer based work.
