Collectif RE: - Dessert (2011)

RE: (Belgium, 2011) is a transdisciplinary collective involved in a common perfomative experience called Dessert. As a result of a breach of good morals, the meal takes a tragic turn as it is constantly disturbed by unexpected intrusions which affect the body movements, becoming more and more strenuous and difficult. The determination to fulfil what has been started pushes the actors’ limits. The video and the setting are the only traces of a live action.

Ikeuchi begins each work with a foundation of cotton thread based on detailed diagrams, and then, over a months-long process, adds a second layer of fine silk thread, knotted by hand hundreds of times over, into a mesh of geometric patterns that are as weightless as a spiderweb.
