This performance was originally developed in 2008. It is also the subject of Satt’s Tate collection video work ‘F n’ F (Face and Fingers). Satt has staged the performance work in different places around the world. The sequence has accumulated additional gestures over time. This latest iteration is devised specially for Tate Modern’s South Tank.
Moe Satt is part of a generation of contemporary Burmese artists who have engaged with experimental practice as a form of resistance to government censorship and oppression in Myanmar. Adopting abstract and conceptual techniques rather than taking direct political action, Satt’s artworks use the body as a site for expression and dissent.
This performance takes place in the context of the exhibition Moe Satt: Rest the Thumbs on the Cheekbones at Delfina Foundation. This performance is organised in collaboration with Delfina Foundation.
