performers: Piotr Wegrzynski, Sylvia Lajbig, Hellen Burrough
music: Uniform (Wajid Yaseen, Alice Kemp)
Second version of WHITE ROOM created exclusively for Body Probe - a body art event curated
by Torture Garden. The music for this performance was created and played live by UNIFORM.
This time the "white room" is represented by white boxes on patients' heads, keeping them
separated from the crowd despite their physical proximity. For the same reason both patients
have their mouth sewn. One is also wearing leg braces, while the other has hand restraints.
The patients are both female and represent sexual fantasies and the pursuit of perfection.
Like in the previous performance, the doctor becomes defeated by those who he tried to suppress.
At the end the white liquid spilled on his face infects him and locks inside the “white room”,
while the patients take on his role.
