Fur Elize
The work is named after Beethoven's 'Fur Elize' since the choreography is based on this song. The video was completed during my residency at Elsewhere museum in NC. This museum is a living institution where societal rules are reinforced within the artistic community. A society within a society. Also, the museum as an establishment is a status setter. Therefore, everything performed inside the museum acquires artistic quality based on the framework of the museum. Everyday activities such as cleaning and tiding up are choreographed and synchronised to become parts of a theatrical and metaphorical performance.
