Body-Luggage – an Art Performance by Ghassan Ghazal

Body-Luggage
This performance, metaphorically speaking, has the merit of bringing together its diverse temporal and physical experiences to a same place of action and reflection, the body in this case.
Here, the migratory nature of the body as well as the ethical mass of its memory are preserved in each and every one of us in the shape of a “Body-Luggage”. Furthermore, the abstract dimension projects the image of a self-activated memory within the realm of the elapsed time.
This ” body Luggage ” asserts itself through its temporal endurance, its physical resistance and the wear of its pierced shape.
Thus, this unique piece is the mix and match between the accidental space of our memory and the fragile nature of the host body.
The purpose of this collective performance is to embody the metaphoric aspect represented by the weight and the content of our Memory.
The spectators will be invited to wear the shirt while discussing and exchanging memories among themselves.
