domestic work

    I was supposed to be cleaning. But after finding an old art catalogue in one of my shelves, I decided to take supposed seriously.

    Inside was a series of still frames from Filipino artist Bea Camacho's work, Efface. The 11-hour performance shows her lying on the floor of a white room, crocheting herself into her own disappearance.

    The description across the page says her performance is an act of erasure. Of her slowly disappearing into her work. Of her slowly being invisible.
