The term “Leakage” refers to the body’s loss of fluid matter through holes or pores. The study is a literal exploration of how the body matters (double entendre if referencing Judith Butler) by opening the body’s channels/holes/pores whereby what’s inside can leak to the outside. “Leakage” also refers to the ideas of a container/containment and it’s malfunction/failure. It’s a durational endeavor where the body remains still in order to study a body’s biological process and the movement and performance of tears, sweat, drool, snot, urine and possibly blood and feces flowing out and subjected to gravity.
The study also appropriates Gloria Anzaldua’s Borderlands theory across the U.S.-Mexico border by blurring the body’s physical border (the external visible vs. the internal organs, etc) and allowing the free passage of fluids through the zone of the invisible inside to the visible outside. It’s an attempt to create an open and undefined space between the performer, the spectators and the material fluids—a potential space for meditation with social, spiritual and architectural implications.
