Chloë Lum & Yannick Desranleau : Stills from Non-Existent Performances
Started in 2019, Stills From Non-Existent Performances is an ongoing series of photo-based works. This series of artworks was initially considered as an experimental laboratory where the duo and their various collaborators could test out form, movement, dramaturgy, and the resilience of their sculptural props. The photography sessions leading to the conception of these works are improvised performances, existing only in their documentation. Capturing the performers in unwieldy poses with the props, the photos are embellished with prose on the discomfort of being. To underscore the process of workshopping with the performers, these works are variously folded, draped, and layered as Lum and Desranleau aim to call attention to the ways that human beings and inanimate objects act on each other.
