Living-Dead Drawing 001

Unedited durational solo performance documentation, 2017, Berlin.

I see a distinction between live drawing (dynamic) and dead drawing (static). Live drawing is the drawing process by which body movements are made in front of an audience. My whole body becomes a drawing tool and the page is the performance space. Dead drawing is what we usually perceive as drawing; it is what remains from the process, to which the audience does not have access. Both live and dead drawing can be analog, digital and generative (made by a machine, i.e an autonomous system). If I complicate the notions of live/dead drawing, I would then propose the following synthesis:

a living-dead drawing is a drawing that won’t stay dead.
