Three Rooms is a work about the archaeology of performance.

I interweave and interconnect materials, you could call them archaeological, associated with three rooms. I have approached each with an interest in how people, in these three sites, dealt, performatively and in everyday settings, with matters of identity and agency in the face of institutional structures and powers, and changing forms of the cultural imaginary. What do poeple do, to maintain or assert a sense of their own worth and value, when others expect them to behave in certain ways, to act out certain roles? How do they succeed and fail? What are some of the consequences?What, indeed, is it to be in a social role, and

How do we represent this performance (of the past)?

Indeed - Why archaeology and performance?
