Liz Rosenfeld will perform
I live in a house with a door at 5 pm.
I Live in a house with a door, is a performance work in which Liz Rosenfeld explores the material of flesh through a narrative of cruising, erotic potential, environmental futures and discursive time. Rosenfeld explores her flesh as a collaborative material, which moves in it’s own time and space. Through dancing with her breath and flesh, Rosenfeld culminates this experience with a science fiction text, where she implicates herself in an erotic cruising scene with an invisible gas, called the Shimmer. The Shimmer effects both the physicality and emotionality of her relationship to flesh as material, while also implicating bodies of flesh in questions of climate change, natural disasters and queer sexuality. Through this work, Rosenfeld arrives at the realization of her non- binary identity through the materiality of her body, rather than through the marker of her gender. She poses questions regarding the assumptions and responsibility of environmental shifts, while also offering the body of excess, her own flesh, as an alternative energy source for a future. In a resistant relationship to metaphor, Rosenfeld collaborates and experiments with her own flesh and the possibilities it presents within it’s own autonomy and rhythm. The title for this work references the text, "
Time is a thing a body moves through" by T. Fleischmann.
