In performative actions lasting several hours, Alexandra Pirici combines contemporary dance with language and space. The choreographies create a hybrid between exhibition and performance, whereby Pirici perceives the human body as a material that performs sculpturally in the space. Textual and pictorial fragments from current discourses around technological development and the historiography of global events are content that serves as a point of departure. Her artistic explorations revolve around the possibility of a collective body in time and space, as well as the timeliness of performance in the context of contemporary event culture. Alexandra Pirici is developing a new, location-specific work in the former locker and washroom of Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund, where live performers interact intermittently with a hologram. Referring to both industrial and immaterial forms of work, she questions the body as a territory.
Alexandra Pirici [born 1982] lives in Bucarest.
