BA Graduation Work
You are in the first row of the IMAX cinema. The picture is blurry and distorted, but you have a big pack of popcorn. You start to move, you gaze away from the pratogonist and notice background actors - they look odd and eerie.
In this work Asya refers to her experience as an ‘extra’ in movie production, as well as the role of a background bodies inside of fiction realities. Through the means of re-enactment, montage and the gaze, performers build up a collapsing narrative, which opens new relationships between main and supporting, questioning the existing hierarchies of attention.
