PORTRAIT (Jayson)
In 2008, Meg Stuart created a one shot video, inspired by the face-to-face videos of Vito Acconci, in which she explored time capsules of compressed presence revolving around simple actions and relational axes. In that video, titled The only possible city, spaces of memory were the starting point. In 2022 Meg Stuart retakes the subject and creates portraits with a dancer, Jayson Batut in the context of Zero Point. For this edition, she further explores the potential of the portrait, resulting in two more pictures, Matija (2024) and Kotomi (2025). These portraits are facing the archive of the inner world and of the outside frame of the sociability and in the centre, between the real and the simulation, lies the gaze. What we are watching, becomes our own interrogation.
