As I practice a midline.
I sit upright. And think about ends and desire, what passes through and does not.
My mouth and my cunt. And how I set it into motion.
A digestive system, absorbing and consuming.
A wholly hole, wholesome and hollow. Swallowing.
As I practice a midline.
I make long strings of spaghetti. Linearity as trajectories trailing traces.
Of consumption and reuse and labor.
Red lips and food for the commoner.
And it molds and folds as strings for imagery and projection. To follow along.
To fall into and out of line with. Hollow insatiable desire. Swallowing.
As I practice a midline.
Trajectories of Desire
Trajectories of Desire is a collaboration between Frida Billeskov Olesen and Þórunn Guðmundsdóttir. Rooting from Frida´s BA research project at DDSKS, AsIPracticeAMidline. The work is a 20-30 minute performance shown at Alternative Fashion Week 2024, Kulturhuset Indre By. The work collides with AFW´s vison and activistic approach to the fashion industry. Trajectories of Desire explores the topics of consumption, labour, conservation and reuse with physical exploration and as well with the usage of homemade pasta.
