EXTRACTION by André Uerba
Performance-installation
Extraction is a performance-installation with one audience member as the main character/ performer. They sit on a medical chair inside a hexagonal glass structure around six metres in diameter. This ‘glass- house’ is sterile and equipped with surgical instruments, cameras hanging from the ceiling on movable arms, and six LCD screens. Inside the glasshouse, there are a doctor and an assistant. The doc- tor is extracting hair from the performer and re-implanting it in the affected areas. The performer cannot see out of the glasshouse, but from the outside, the audience can observe the action of extracting and transplanting the hair follicles. The LCD screens display images of natural disasters, demolitions, wars, babies falling asleep, amuse- ment parks, reworks, aeroplane crashes, cats, and so on.
