Performance, 13 June 2023
Regular light (with layered red plastic filters), performer, wooden tripod, speaker, stethoscope, enclosed space, silence
Red Room is an immersive performance that explores themes of isolation, intimacy, and psychological tension through sound, light, and bodily presence. The artist is positioned in an enclosed space, lit by a regular light source modified with layered red plastic filters. As more people enter the room, the red hue intensifies — the environment becomes a sensorial barometer, reacting to audience presence.
The artist holds a stethoscope to her body, transmitting her heartbeat through a speaker mounted on a wooden tripod. The live pulse echoes into the space, turning an intimate bodily rhythm into a shared sonic presence. While Tirage dissects the heartbeat through multiple representations, Red Room immerses the viewer in it — as feeling, tension, and atmosphere.
The performance is silent, restrained — yet charged. As the audience gathers, they enter a space that is physically minimal but emotionally saturated. The artist’s movements are limited, yet every breath, glance, and beat becomes amplified.

Performance, 12 June 2023
Chair, stethoscope, speaker, paper, drawing, cardiograms
In Tirage, the artist explores the concept of presence through the representation of a heartbeat in four distinct forms. Referencing Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs (1965), which presents a chair as object, image, and definition, Tirage applies this conceptual framework to the human body — and more specifically, its pulse.
The performance presents the heartbeat as:
1. A written definition on paper
2. A clinical cardiogram from a doctor
3. A hand-drawn heartbeat chart, where each beat is marked by a circle drawn in real time over one minute
4.The artist’s live body, seated with a stethoscope transmitting their heartbeat through a speaker into the space
By layering objective documentation, manual interpretation, and live performance, Tirage invites the viewer to reconsider the boundary between data and experience, presence and representation. The work transforms a biological rhythm into a fragile, multisensory language — one that is both intensely personal and universally human.
