Both the process and performance happens parallel in Berlin and Tbilisi.

The performance consists of different elements that overlap through techniques of projection, reflection, and feedback loops. In Berlin, SueKi dances to live music by Cem on a 4 poster bed, interacting with her silhouette, a mirror, and the projection of a chrome costume digitally modeled by Tikuna based on an actual costume created by Gvantsa. This performance is streamed and projected onto the actual costume in Tbilisi, and this screening is streamed back to Berlin and used as cuts in the projection on the bed.

A peek into our private yet performative space, this work questions the way we often perceive ourselves through the lens of others, and how this line between both perceptions is often inseparable. This is explored through the performer who struggles to navigate her attention between herself and the audience, the intimate yet at times other-worldly music, and the digitally modeled costume that emphasizes the ephemeral aspect of feeling shielded, as it keeps falling down and exposing the body. This is also in the design of the costume itself, which is transformed from the deconstruction of a monastery into a masculine oversized blazer, a feminine slip dress, a comfort blanket, a bedsheet, a tapestry that hangs on your wall and surveils you.
