Tom Grbic – Imagine ne pas pouvoir fuir, performance continue de la tolérance et de laa raison

Imagine not being able to run away is a continuous performance lasting the whole day. It aims to show the principle of ‘trans work’ theorised by Josephine Gilles Harris in 2019. 

J. G. Harris highlights, among other things, the fact that queer people need to maintain a constant performative state in order to be able to navigate the world in an ‘understandable’ way. 

With an activation of texts by Laurène Marx, Tom Grbic, Josephine Gilles Harris and Adel Tincelin, it is also an effort to inscribe ourselves in a lineage, a critical and welcoming queer History.

This performance play with themes of spaces. Through sexualities, the artist questions power dynamics, creating a link amongst the bioluminescence concept as a visibility strategy and queer activism. With heels dancing and a neon atmosphere, the project explores the way of inhabiting the space which could either be intimate or the public. The artist amplifies the echo of their heels, which draws the silence while lighting up the space with each clack. A dialogue is created with the public, still but here. A biocenosis takes place where a space-sound landscape exists creating a tangible discomfort. Bodies become a vector of memories, breathing as the performance goes. A shared heritage gets distributed but also reverses the positions of everyone.

Laughter on TV was recorded in the 1950s. Today, most of the people you hear laughing are dead.” This line from the novel Berceuse by Chuck Palahniuk  feels like an urban legend — half true. It echoes Bruce Nauman’s Partial Truth, a cold, minimalist stele shaped like a dead TV screen. Television, too, builds partial truths: cutting, filtering, reframing reality. We watch the news like a sitcom, between forced laughter and banalized tragedy. This installation reflects this fractured perception: two urns — one laughs, the other sleeps. Vessels of memory, they embody both absurdity and numbness. Between laughter and sleep, death and spectacle, the boundary fades — like truth itself.
