Mimicrying
(2025)
Nørrebro Bibliotek & Nørrebrohallen 04.12.2025-16.12.2025
´LIVE 18:00–22:00
Description
In Mimicrying (2025), the two performers, Marie F and Matilde S, exchange roles and identities as they take turns appearing in front of and behind the camera. Across a series of intimate setups, their relation evolves both through the camera’s lens and around its physical presence, positioning it as a mediating gaze that continuously negotiates between seeing and being seen. Reflecting this interplay, the title draws on the biological concept of mimicry, by which one species evolves to resemble another for protection or advantage. Transposed into a social field, it describes a performative strategy for affiliating with others in an effort to belong.
