Metopia

The two performers become live sculptures, frozen in one pose, prompting the audience to question whether they are real people or inanimate mannequins. Their costumes suggest that they are the physicalised versions of the artist's virtual avatar, a digital reference to the "self". In the performance, her physical body is not literally present, but her own image reoccurs in many elements of the costumes, like the box or the skirt. In this way, the artist takes on a double role - as both the maker and the subject and reflects on the process of creating and maintaining an online presence on social media.

The Gerrit Rietveld Academie is an independent university of applied sciences with approximately 850 students. The Rietveld Academie offers the degree programme Art & Design which incorporates the various specialisations. The specialisations are led by coordinators who are responsible for the study programme and day-to-day affairs. In addition, the academy offers two master&aposs degrees and a variable number of temporary master&aposs programmes provided by the Sandberg Instituut.
