Collaboration with Pedram Baldari
Pharmakon is Cure and Poison. Pharmecon as “transitional object” exists in a realm between attachment and conflict.
Re-configuration of pharmakon, is a box full of thread attached to cut hair. These hairs and thread hold a memory of a 45 minutes performance that the thread was the transitional object between my collaborators and I .
Thread and hair capture moments of bonding,loving,defining the space around us and walking between our audience.Then thread becomes a border between audiences,it turned the space into a binary state.It hold the tension between the two performers when they reach a balance by leaning their weight back and holding their weight by the thread and their hair. A balance between attachment and conflict.
