During their stay at ZK/U, Ari David will develop a research project entitled Ambiguous Grounds. The project aims to reflect on the relationship between the body and public space by borrowing strategies from visual art. During the residency, David will experiment with the ways in which presence is scripted in the West and how these scripts can be unravelled and defamiliarized. The public space will be considered as a stage, investigating its theatricality, exposure and vulnerability, blurring the boundaries between spectatorship and spectacle, audience and performer, personal and public space
This residency is supported by CBK Rotterdam (Centre for Visual Arts Rotterdam).
