Dream Chamber (video performance) – Ane Lan (Oslo, Norway)

Press release info:

“Dream Chamber” by Ane Lan at Gallery MC, New York

November 16th and 17th at 7 pm.

The performance “Dream Chamber” uses elements from theater and stage performance and applies them to a gallery space setting, seeking to incorporate the personal experiences of audience members. The main theme of the performance is the philosophical claim that the modern human being is increasingly objectified based on media attention and commercial value. The performance will argue that the modern human being has assumed the traditional feminine role as object. But if the “feminine condition” includes everyone, then who is the dominating subject?
