blue

2026 | HKB | ACT Bern

«blue» represents effort. It’s a process of becoming and externalising emotions through movement and physical effort of the body. It presents what being stuck in a loop leads to. It also raises questions about the ability to control and recognise one’s patterns of action.

A body stuck in a capitalist reality, being transformed and treated as merely a product leads to a breaking point. The constant need to prove and justify one’s existence is not only unsustainable – it breaks you. It causes you to sweat, spit and cry. And trying to sustain your life as an immigrant, a queer person and in a precarious situation becomes a loop. Of trying to survive despite the circumstances.

«blue» is a clash with expectations that only seem safe and happy on the surface, as if choosing a life where you thought you might be heard, feel safer and happier actually becomes your personal struggle.
