Reimagining Radical Cities│Gazing into Private Spaces
[The script of this episode]
The upcoming section centers on the intimate aspects of everyday life. In Joyce Ho’s Vera x Diary, the performer acts as an object, nestling herself into the tight spaces of a home. This action mirrors a modern reality shared by many: living in a confined, standardized urban environment. Jeong Geumhyung’s Spa & Beauty showcases a variety of beauty and skincare products, underscoring how self-care has increasingly become a commodified experience. This encourages contemplation of the links between beauty, intimacy, and consumerism. Rinus Van de Velde’s A Life in A Day may first seem to portray a man’s ordinary 9-to-5 job. However, a closer look reveals that each scene is hand-drawn and crafted meticulously. What we see in this work is, in fact, a spiritual journey imagined by the artist while staying at his own home. Eisa Jocson and Venuri Perera’s Sweeping Sisters weaves the motifs of witches and maids together through the shared instrument of the broom, exploring the lasting themes of gender and labor politics within the family structure.
