Communion
Saturday 16 October

Communion, at it’s core speaks of vanity; the ritual of ‘preening’ and ‘fixing’ hair. Looking from a much broader framework, however, the performance is concerned with organized religion; mass identity and an ‘ironing out’ or ‘smoothing over’ of cultural difference and individuality; activities performed silently and privately for the benefit of visibly conforming.
Communion forms part of a body of work relating to a larger project, The Rainbow Tribe: researching ownership of the body and persona, representations and possible manipulations of the body through a quest for equality and freedom.
