(no) Pause

An MA P:DP Presentation

(no) Pause is a performative exhibition combining installation, movement, and jazz music. Inspired by Samuel Beckett's Happy Days, Shuyi Alice Wang responds to the question "how to live in this unmoored time" with her grandfather's words: "I only need to do exactly the same as yesterday." The work loops every 24 minutes, repeated three times.
