My performance was inspired, on one hand, by Tadeusz Kantor's theatrical masterpiece "The Dead Class", and on the other, by peculiar memories from my primary school years. A key prop used in the performance was a wooden conference chair with a writing desk attachment, which, much like the school benches in Kantor's play, symbolised the classroom — a space of order, discipline, and education. This sense of space was further defined by use of a school uniform as my performative attire. Disrupting this symbolic order was the act of persistently chewing gum throughout the performance. I then adhered the gum to the desk surface of the conference chair, a gesture that resulted in the creation of an autonomous artistic object. This piece served as both a documentation of the action and an evocation of a forgotten gesture of defiance, a lack of decorum, and even youthful rebellion.
