Libby Scarlett presents a series of three new videos that question labour, time, and autonomy to explore change through bodily movement and restricted duration. Bathroom Dances are a moment to disconnect from labour. To reunite the neglected or overburdened body/mind through fast, fun, rebellious, small-time, big-impact dances.
The exhibition is viewed from outside the gallery, allowing the audience to look into the personal, intimate space of the bathroom to witness the private moments these dances hold. The floor will be covered with shiny, silver tiles that reflect the videos in them - the chrome of bathroom suites colliding with a dance floor.
To accompany the installation, an edition of complimentary Bathroom Dance instructions will be available for visitors to take home, as an invitation to experience the power and immediacy of a Bathroom Dance of their own.
