behind the scenes is an installation project about the bureaucratic apparatus and conditional statuses that keep undocumented workers permanently “in process”. The project exposes a structural contradiction at the core of our contemporary economy: migrant labour is needed, but the migrant body is not acknowledged as a citizen. What remains unseen while work must continue during processing?
Through text, body, mixed media installation, Linora explores what such conditions do to a psyche, to a body, while exposing the bureaucratic language and procedures that operate as tools of control.
The installation is structured as a series of stations, in which visitors are invited to enter, move, wait, move again, hold, … shifting from observation to an individual experience.
The project is further developed during a one-week residency at Rez Gauche. The architecture of the space, its circulation and constraints will too influence how the work unfolds, accumulates and installs over the week. On the final day of the residency, the doors will be open to the public. This is not a presentation of a finished work, but an invitation into an ongoing process of exploration and experimentation. You are welcome to experience the installation in its current state, to ask questions, and to leave reflections or feedback.
