Hand in my pocket, 2023

11 March — 12 March 2023, Shop Amomento, Seoul

 

 

SEHIKYO's second presentation introduces the 15-minute performance project «Hand in my pocket»(2023).

In a series of research processes from repairs, Sehikyo pays attention to the craftsmanship of the 17th-century European "pocket" being handmade at home and its attributes as an object of emotional attachment that contains the history of wearing. The 15-minute performance «Hand in my pocket»(2023) combines Sehikyo's practice with the exploration of the properties of pockets through "pocket making" made up of the act of hand sewing.

"........Making pockets, which may appear to be static house-hold labour, is, in fact, a very dynamic and proactive—sometimes even combative—performance. I hope everyone finds their own vivid rhythm and melody from creating and carrying pockets!"
