Voguing is not white, honey... / Voguing is not white, honey...

In my diploma thesis I deal with the concept of "natural". I wonder what society considers natural and what it doesn't. For this "research", I borrowed the dance genre of Vogue, which was invented by the trans subculture, as a celebration of the otherness of sexual identities. I open questions of normality and nature through new entities, which I create from found synthetic materials and my body. At the same time, artificial materials illustrate the issue of nature not only in society but also in the environment. The final work is assemblage. But it is not just about connecting different materials, but also about connecting different media, feelings, themes and thoughts that culminate in one whole. However, with its creation, it slowly disappears again. As a result, it is an installation consisting of decomposing costumes, which I used in three already performed performances. The installation creates an environment for a new action. Specifically for the dance "battle", which will be based on the already mentioned "voguing". The performance lasts until one of the two performers is exhausted and is accompanied by music and authentic screams from real "battles".
