The One at Home - a 14-Day Durational Performance by Oliver Chong


A 14-day durational performance that takes place in a co-living space, and live-streamed to audiences on the Substation’s Instagram page during SeptFest 2022: uproot | rootless. A man enters a room that seems to be filled with the relics and detritus of another world. He spends his days here all by himself, excavating the past, practising for the present. At night, he performs for those who watch him. He remembers another time, another space. He searches for another artist, another reason. Do you want to see him? Would you have him rehearse and re-enact your fever dreams and buried desires? This work presents a meditative study of the human body and soul in a state of quarantine and isolation, while trapped in a world of relentless virtual connection and viral infection.
