BODIES THAT WAVE / WAVES THAT EMBODY

2023-ongoing

Bodies that Wave / Waves that Embody
2023-ongoing
Series of video Installation & Lecture Performance
Print on fibre paper, 268 x 40cm, 3 Ed. + 1 A.P.

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.

je crée des vagues,

je veux devenir cette vague
qui perpétuellement s’en vient
qui éternellement s’en va
toujours en mouvement
mais singulièrement à chaque fois.
une vague d’intention me frappe,
une intention posée pour battre,
pour se battre, pour me battre,
pour devenir forte
pour vaincre,
ne pas être vaincue
éviter le danger
se protéger
est-ce peut-être ce la signification de cette intention?
un coup,
de poing, de pied
explose dans dans mon corps
une vague de choc se propage
à travers mes os, ma peau, mes cellules adipeuses, mes nerfs, mon foie,
tout fluctue.
la transmission de cette intention,
me renverse,
me retourne à la position fœtale.

Egosurfing (2023) takes its name from a term coined by Sean Carton in 1995. First appearing as an entry in Gareth Branwyn’s March 1995 Wired magazine Jargon Watch column, the term refers to the practice of searching for one’s own name or nickname in a popular search engine and reviewing the results. Similarly, an “egosurfer” is defined as someone who searches for their own name on the Internet and wants to see what information appears.
