For how we perceived a life (Take 3) debuted at the New Museum in 2012, emerging out of Wu Tsang’s “full body quotation” practice, a series of choreographed performances in which collaborators are fed pre-existing lines from an ear piece. In this edition, the performers begin huddled together in a mass, their dialogue echoing the 1990 documentary Paris is Burning, as well as other audio pertaining to the ballroom dance scene. This video, initially presented as a looped film in exhibition, brings to mind questions of gender, gentrification, and proximity.
