Rehearsing the Real  Lethe    about










Rehearsing the real presents a collection of contemporary artworks that seek to unravel and rewind across media including photography, film, performance and text. These acts of unfolding will come in the form of undoing narratives, histories and visual languages. A central element of the exhibition is a live collaborative work that will manifest throughout the duration of the exhibition and will bring together artists Arcalís, Bäcklund, Güntert, Jamieson and Leon within one creative space.

Live Collaborative Essay‭ is a durational performance that reflects on the process of image-making‭. ‬The text brought together a collage of correspondance‭, ‬research and references between‭ ‬myself‭, ‬Joshua Leon‭, ‬Ramona Güntert‭, ‬Emma Bäcklund and Steff Jamieson‭. ‬All the ideas were shared in a Google Drive document during the two months of preparation for the show and were then reassembled and edited into two performances: The Temporal Space and The Table of the Absent.‬
