ABOUT RESORT
Resort revolves around a couple who have gone on holiday to a resort to fix their relationship. They begin a role play, pretending to be two strangers meeting in a hotel bar. But as they try out different scenarios, they slowly lose control of the game and their sense of self. At the resort everything appears porous. Nature and culture, identities, and relations, past, present, and future coalesce. “Resort” enters a conversation with the current climate and biodiversity crisis through the lens of a crumbling relationship. Movements small and large affect each other: plate tectonics and relationship dynamics, a breakup and/or the end of the world.
ABOUT FILIP VEST
Filip Vest holds an MFA from Malmö Art Academy. Through performances, installations, films, and texts, they examine queer love, loneliness, and desire in the 21st century. Applying rehearsal methods from theatre, they test the relationship between the script and the body to inve- stigate the different ways we perform our identities and relations. Vest’s universe is inhabited by a vast network of things of different scales, each affecting the other: climate change and crumbling relationships, role play, doomsday karaoke and re-enacted kisses, a bird falling in love with a statue, and a frog having a breakdown in the middle of a striptease. Through mobile phones, walls and windows, the characters communicate and miscommunicate across species and time while attempting to make themselves legible to each other.
Filip Vest has previously shown their work at SMK, Copenhagen Contemporary, Møstings, Nikolaj Kunsthal, Arken, Den Frie, Charlottenborg, Roskilde Festival, Tallinn Kunsthal, and at Manifesta13.
