CHASING A GHOST<\/em><\/h2>\n

\nALEXANDRA BACHZETSIS (CH)<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alexandra Bachzetsis draws from histories of art, music, cinema, popular culture and fashion, and projects them onto the body. Through this method of citation, The artist considers how our bodies are used and can be activated in today\u2019s increasingly polarizing discussions around identity and body politics.<\/p>\n

In her newly commissioned work\u00a0Chasing a Ghost<\/em>,\u00a0which premieres at the Art Institute of Chicago, Bachzetsis continuously creates a double\u2014a double body, a double sound, a double space, a double image. Challenging the choreographic archetype of the duet, the performance stages these doubles within a spectrum of violence and desire. Central to this duality, a double in of itself, is the notion of the uncanny: an estranging phenomenon in a seemingly ordinary context, but also the potential act of transgression as our repressed impulses and subconsciousness may at any time rupture into our experience of reality.<\/p>\n

Chasing a Ghost<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>encompasses a choreography for five dancers (including the artist herself), an original music score played live by two pianists, and a stage setting that shifts between live movement and moving image. As such, Bachzetsis transforms the duet into an unsettling picture, the movement between two bodies a distressing and unexpected occurrence, a perpetual\u00a0folie-\u00e0-deux<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>that challenges how we look at ourselves and others.<\/p>\n
