MUD (28/08/2022) The performance featured a variety of obscure objects including a jar of coloured pencils, tinsel, a pair of socks, oranges, Vitamin E cream, a fencing mask, a falafel subway sandwich, a chair and a live radio station. The performance was improvised and led according to the live sounds of the radio station, in which Jazmine adjusted throughout the course of the performance. Polaroid film was captured during the performance as a response to the notion of ‘Liveness’, and gifted to members of the audience.

Jazmine lent backwards with her head to the wall, balancing a coloured pencil to her forehead with her left arm.

Jazmine lies down with her head on an audience members knee. She has coloured socks on her hands and was mimicking the voices of the live radio station to the people speaking, pretending the sock puppets were having a conversation.

Jazmine sits in a chair with her legs spread open. She holds an unwrapped subway sandwich with both hands between her legs. She wears a fencing mask.
