Naomi Pacifique
Year of residence
"With After the Night, the Night, I aim to explore the different possibilities of experiencing intimacy. I want to question monogamy as a social structure which has enormously affected our human relations. Is there a difference between loyalty to another and loyalty to oneself? What do religion and private property have in common with monogamy as we know it today? I want to submerge myself in the spaces that exist for vulnerability, modesty and empathy within intimacy. I want to use my own body as a way of exploring how the internal expresses itself on the surface. And I want to find Naomi wrapped in an alternative time – one of whispers, of touch, of infinity found in the breath of a moment."
