Dora Garcia's work examines what divides and connects reality and fiction. She is interested in situations and contexts that question the traditional relationship between the artist, the work of art and the spectator. In the performances she directs, the distinction between the spontaneous and the imposed is blurred. Their starting point is often the impossibility of open communication.
Instant Narrative is a performance that comprises a computer input and a video display. The spectator enters the exhibition space and passes a member of staff who is busily tapping away on his laptop keyboard. A large text projection is suspended in the room. When the spectator reads the rapidly changing text she realises that it is about her, about her appearance, what she does and even about her approaching the man to ask him what he is doing and what the work is about.
Instant Narrative absorbs the knowing or unknowing spectator into an endless fiction that coincides with the duration and circumstances of an exhibition.
