Описание: Mutual Weight by Pieke Pleijers
Performed at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam for Rietveld Uncut (2023)
Duration: 40 minutes.

Life begins and ends with being carried.
It is a great physical unconditional virtue you can offer the other.
However, there is also a limit to the weight we can carry as an individual.

In this durational performance thirty
people take turns carrying each other in pairs. When one is not able to carry
anymore, the other takes over.
They will continue to switch until both are no longer able to carry.

The work focuses on how individuals form a collective that is able to
accommodate others, as a radical act of inclusion that connects bodies and
provides shelter.
