Between Movements

My transition from classical to experimental narrative mirrors the evolution of my understanding of gender, not as a fixed state, but as a performative and iterative process. Informed by queer theory and thinkers such as Judith Butler, I explore identity as an immanent process—a site of continual becoming where embodiment, repetition, and disruption converge. As an artist, I employ my body as both subject and medium, integrating video, projection, and costume to construct layered, mediated experiences. My work interrogates the fluidity of gender identity and expands the body as a generative space of subversion, play, and reconfiguration.

Between Movements is a two-channel video projection composed of two camera-based performances in which I queer my image, generating a hybrid body that exists between live performance, costume, and digital mediation. The piece conceptualizes identity as an immanent field—a constructed space that resists categorization and embraces transformation as an act of resistance.

Through this hybrid experience—one that folds together past and present to envision possible futures—I activate the body as both a personal archive and a collective site of resistance. My practice situates the body as both an instrument and an inquiry, where representation, performance, and critique converge in the immanence of lived and enacted selves. By collapsing the boundary between lived experience and artistic gesture, Between Movements proposes alternative modes of witnessing and understanding selfhood—approaches that resist containment while celebrating the inherent immanence of identity.
