In collaboration with Elena Katsulis, we explored themes of endurance, labor, and the objectification of the female body as subject and functional object. Dressed in heels and dresses, we remained on our hands and knees with our faces pressed into the floor for the duration of a gallery opening. A tabletop balanced across our backs served as a platform for attendees’ drinks, transforming us into utilitarian fixtures within the space. We held this position until the inevitable point of collapse, allowing the physical strain and exhaustion to dictate the performance’s conclusion.
