Elbows On The Table
Performance
2021
Elbows On The Table is the work I perform for arsist Cemre Kara.
The work focuses on visualising dinner scenarios as a performative act that plays with the ideas of Western table manners. It comes from questioning the possibilities of creating different eating scenarios and behavior at the dinner table, by simply not holding our cutleries with our hands. This will allow us to explore how much change this behavior would bring to our accustomed table manners and the accepted etiquette around the dinner table.
