How We Acquired the Taste to Participate Community Choir
Kunsthal Charlottenborg (2025)
A choir sings a humorous yet sincere ode to participation, team spirit, self-performance, and the quiet tragedy of staying in line. Referencing karaoke and school assemblies, the work questions how personal narratives are, branded, rewritten, rehearsed, and consumed by political forces, turning identity into public performance. In a world where self-improvement feels obligatory and every path leads to a 12-month gym membership, the choir asks: what if our personal brands were stamped on our foreheads? We’d shift from observers to objects of observation.
