GOLDSMITHS | MFA 2020

Jazmin Gareau



Clip from “Empathetic Bloat”, 2/3 performances.
I learned about this body from my mother, and she learned about hers in the same. Empathetic Bloat. Acknowledging imprints of trauma that surface in the body by inhabiting the vessel of the snail. A lightweight shell, a hand sewn cover, baby oil soaks body stockings at the knees, elbows and tops of feet, choreography of snail dances executed through movement across my living room floor.
1 minute and 51 seconds, August 2020.
