Milk-like Piece engages contemporary narratives of extraction, capture, and their divestment through the hierarchical collapse that can characterize a certain type of ‘surrenderous’ intimacy. Inspired among others by works by Adrian Piper and Adrian Howell, the piece revolves around the embodiment of the figure of Melancholia by a performer who appears to be imprisoned in a space flooded with a milk-like liquid. The Manuscript contains and hides the poem and the image that serve as inspirational backbones to the piece.
Milk-like Piece is currently at Stage 0: realized in the scattered, collective imagination of the individuals who have read The Descriptor, a combination of text and image that works as discoursive counterpart to The Manuscript and describes the events and dynamics composing the piece.
The Descriptor was originally published in October 2022 and is currently not available to read on this page.
