today was very spontaneous and improvisational. Anna and Claire, white dresses, red stockings, stand in the window, not really sure what's going to happen. We put on Patti Smith. We start pressing our bodies against the glass, we start moving to the music, we forget we are standing in a shop front on William street at peak hour. The glass is cool and smooth, and the hotter and stickier we get the more we want to press our skin across it's cool surface. Pressed in the corner of the window, arms strectched across, rolling back and forth, ear, face, arms, back pressed and flattened, swaying, it's a true romance with the window, we dance with it. Eyes closed, occasionally open to find a crowd gathered on the footpath, the occasional camera flash, the video camera across the road, the bus at the traffic light. People watch, some try to interact. We are too absorbed in the music and the glass. After an hour and a half hot and sweaty, the lights go off, we bow. the end.
Hello, Welcome to the virtual realm of our Site Fiction project. We are an artist collective experimenting in Perth city to activate empty or disused spaces, and engaging and interacting with any potential audience (you!). We are currently inhabiting the former Arcane Bookshop (212 William St Perth) until 3rd October. During this we will be undertaking a series of performances in the shop front. This blog will be regularly updated with STUFF, so stay tuned!
