Based on the questions “How to perform a wave?” and “How to become a wave?” Mimiko invites the audience to explore the similarities between the rhythmic and fluid movements of waves, which are in a constant state of motion and change, and the rhythmic and fluid movements of the human body. Through the performative reading, Mimiko assumes that intentions can spread like waves, traversing time and space, and she aims to make the various waves traversing the human body visible by tracing their marks in water-bodies. “Bodies that wave / Waves that embody” draws attention to this correlation and pursues the question “What does it mean for the human body to be a wave?”
The first of the performative reading series was held in September 2023 as part of “Akan Beden Performans ve Konuşma Dizisi,” the second one in January 2024 at Galerie Analix Forever/Geneva and the third in June 2024 at Pilot Galeri/Istanbul.
