Caribbean Linked 2
Only Flexible Man
Several years after the rise
of the first sculpture of the Flexible Man I decided to make suits based on the
Flexible man concept. The first suit was created in 2011 and performed in
public spaces in Trinidad & Tobago. For the Caribbean Linked 2 residency at
the Ateliers 89 in Aruba I made 4 suits which were used for a performance on
the beach side and also on the opening night in the exhibition space. The
performers used following words to form their movements in the suits: flexible,
aggressive, dominant, dance, humor, uncontrolled and popular. The result is a
video of approximately 2 minutes long. This video is inspirational material for
upcoming performances.
I appreciate the
assistance of:
Rodell Warner, Germille German & Nicole Smythe-Johnson in the suits as performers
Omar Kuwas for filming
Holly Bynoe for shooting pictures with Mark King’s
camera
Ryan Daniel Oduber
& Holly Bynoe for editing
