Seems to be
by and with Stina Ehn and Denise Lim
Seems to be is a collage of dances, drawings and music. In the piece images of commodities, technologies and everyday objects are distributed and dispersed. The work juxtaposes the ordinary with the magical in a play between cultural production and domestic life.
Balancing on a thin line, Seems to be disturbs the image of the female body. A commodified body, a revolting body, a body at work. Flat images tune the algorithm and collapse distinction -the radical has been sold. It allows you to rest your gaze but it also looks back.
Seems to be is a collaboration by and with Denise Lim and Stina Ehn. The two have been dancing together and making works since they met in Copenhagen 2017.
