I Suck My Tongue in Remembrance of You is a project about the relation between automation and labour. It deals with the confusion that comes with simulating intimacy and care and questions the boundary between the performed and the “authentic”. The performers attempt to linger in the twilight zone between alive and un-dead.
I Suck My Tongue in Remembrance of You is a collaboration between Nadja Voorham and Victoria Kaldan.
With support of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee.
