The artistic research
In this residency the artists focus their research on the video game Tomb Raider. They will investigate and activate a repertoire extracted from the character Lara Croft's body movements, sounds and gaze.
Together they will dig into the politics and aesthetics of desire, emancipation and hyper-femininity that surrounds the game history and development through the years as much as reflecting on its colonial and fetishist aspects. There is a desire to create a mysterious immersive world that stretches and expands the game's symbols and narratives.
Loving lara
Do I wanna be her? Do I wanna fuck with her? Both?
cuz she is so lonely in such vast spaces. Longing for vastness.
Stab him Lara!
the artists
The artists are entering this collaboration through the mediums of performance, video art, music and costume design to open up dialogues and craft fictional worlds that unfold the ambiguities, mysteries and complexities that surrounds Lara Croft.
Ves Liberta was invited into this residency to support both her artistic process and the process of establishing herself in the Danish performing arts community. Quim Bigas was co-curator for this residency.
