Performance.
*Flat B. Bedroom Piece*
Deeply personal performance and interactive installation chronicles my recovery journey
from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
Performance delves into themes of isolation, changeability, and the fleeting nature of ideas, reflecting the disorienting experience of recovering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Drawings on the walls will appear and disappear, symbolising the intense yet transient emotions associated with BPD.
The installation aims to evoke the feeling of "all for nothing," a sentiment often felt during recovery, while also acknowledging the impact of these moments. By inviting viewers into this intimate, ever-changing space, I hope to offer insight into the lived experience of BPD and foster understanding and empathy. The rawness of the installation underscores the chaotic nature of the disorder while also highlighting resilience and creativity.
