Heartbeat performance
I was hitting the drumhead with a beater attached to a kick drum pedal. I was pressing the pedal manually which required some physical force. The performative action was presented in January 2024.
It was designed to emphasize on the power of our bodies and on the invisible inner labor that it takes to stay alive.
The basic performance instructions for this piece were:
the performer had to keep hitting the drumhead throughout the entire piece, stopping and resting was not allowed;
the performance had to end when the artist got too tired to maintain a steady beat.
