Tightrope Walker/Balance Game | 2024- ongoing | Site-Specific Two-Channel Video Installation

Tightrope Walker / Balance Game reflects on care and manipulation within interpersonal relationships and group dynamics, and how these dynamics function through public appearance.

In the video performance, Umut Azad Akkel plays a game where he carries a large scale across his shoulders while two anonymous figures move freely, placing beer glasses onto either side. All sides are needed to sustain the game, until they aren't.

The audience encounters Video II first, followed by Video I, while the object in the performance forms part of the work.
