Performance

 Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Description:

Slits was a performance art event featuring Paul Wong, Margaret Dragu, Kirsten Forkert, David Yonge, Stephen Anthony, and Derek Champion as Satina Saturnina. Works were performed live in individual tent-like booths and the audience viewed each performance through slits, alluding to voyeurism and exhibitionism.

The performances included interactive activities such as fortune telling or anonymously exchanging written notes, as well as contained experiences such as observing performers sleeping, webcamming in adult chat rooms, or performing in drag.

Video documentation available upon request.
