The Nobodies (2009-Present)
The Nobodies (2009-Present) is an ongoing story documenting the journeys of displaced immigrants. THE NOBODIES uses public performance, sculptural garments, and poetry to create other-worldly experiences for the viewer while questioning the social constructions that govern and objectify personhood. The series revels in the simultaneous visibility and invisibility that the garments bring to the wearer to explore the act of “nobodying.” Audience members are invited to participate in the performance through roles that are complicit in the subjugation of “somebody” into “nobody.”
