Sit and Wait and Be Sweet

​

Eunjung Kim and Burong's collaborative performance Sit and Wait and Be Sweet is a live performance about becoming a predator that makes a trap and is trapped simultaneously. Instead of discarding indigestible bubble gum residue, we use fingers, lips, tongues and saliva to create viscous lines and webs on each other’s bodies. Experimenting with recycling sticky gum waste and making art from the garbage we produce, the two female bodies together intend to make live, mutable abject art that cannot be consumed nor digested. Besides the bubble gum colour T-shirt, pink lighting and other visual elements dominated by pink, the liveness of the sickly sweet smell from strawberry-flavoured gum and the wet background sound is central to the work.

 

“Tongue Thing” is a one-hour soundtrack composed by Garry Scott James.
