In the performance, I whisper these private stories to audiences in a space dimly lit by two lightbulbs. I wish to share not only how myself as a queer Asian man has built my relationships with others in a foreign country, but also how the effect of these relationships shift with the performance of small gestures--holding a light bulb and swinging it to hit another lightbulb.\n \nInspired by Felix Gonzalez Torres\u2019s lightbulb installation representing human relationship and lifespan, two lightbulb cords will be installed for the performance stage coming from the ceiling. When an audience member participates in the piece, I will ask them to indicate the number of the episode that they choose to listen to with their fingers. They will wear a pair of gloves and hold a lightbulb while listening to the story through a pair of headphones. When the story ends, the participant and I will make an angle between their lightbulb and mine, based on the number of episodes (e.g. #90 = 90\u00b0). When we set up a specific angle, we will let the lightbulbs swing. I will replace the lightbulbs if they break and wait for the next participants.","space":"Since the main prop of my project are lightbulbs, it is ideal to present in a dark space. They come down from the ceiling with cable ties or small nails. There is no specific dimension of the installation, but a certain distance (approx 3 meters) between two lightbulbs is required to set up an angle at the end of the one-to-one performance. Each session takes about 8 minutes and the whole duration of the piece depends on how many hours it takes until the prepared 90 lightbulbs run out.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/403405251","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"SUNGJAE","surname":"LEE","email":"slee234@artic.edu","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"M88695138","address":"1459 W Blackhawk St, Apt 1R","city":"Chicago","nacionality":"Korean","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1989-08-06T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1989-08-06T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"3123076907","web":"sung-jae-lee.com","fileCount":11}
