Jessica
by Simon Asencio

Simon Asencio’s (France) practice addresses invisible choreographies, investigating the performative potential of conspiracy, hyper-camouflage, and invisible labour. Jessica is an extended performance piece of invisible labour, inviting background acting to concrete life events.

In the past, Jessica has appeared as a theatre technician with chest tattoos, guest list manager at a nightclub, substitute of a curator, voice mail, passer-by, lady in the toilets, spectator, human press release, guest at a dinner, type-writer, live translator. For FLAM, Jessica is hired as the moderator of the panel talk between Anna Reutinger and Ellen Algera.
