The Untamable Hand

This performance draws on a personal experience in which the artist’s hand suddenly started to tremble uncontrollably. Hedwig Houben weaves together experiences from her own reality with diverse situations and general concepts. With The Untamable Hand, she offers a reflection on the connection between intentions and execution, social expectations and resistance. At the same time, she reflects on the embodiment of productivity and vulnerability. Playground presents both the sculptural installation and live presentations by the artist.

On Friday 20:11 at 14:00, Hedwig Houben will engage in a dialogue with Émilie Renard.
