Between the Stacks Live

The set included a custom-made book barbell and chain-suspended mirror, with queer literature and furniture sourced from Goldmsith’s library next door.
This performance was initially commissioned by Jessa Mockridge and the Feminist Duration Reading Group and was showcased as part of an afternoon of screenings called ‘bodying libraries’ at Goldsmiths CCA on January 7 2024.
