DISPLACING

with jean-paul maitinsky

A couple bathes in parallel tubs. Although a scene of intimacy is suggested, it never fully unfolds. Throughout the piece, the figures exchange positions; first two women are seen, then a man and a woman, then two men. The figures's actions mirror each other as they exchange positions, displacing each other as water is displaced when one is sub- merged in a tub. Through these exchanges, the distinctions between one person and the other lose clarity. Their uniqueness is obscured through their relation to each other.
