Go
In the performance "Go," inspired by the eponymous Japanese strategic board game Go, black and white ceramic spheres are alternately moved and repositioned within the space, which serves as the game board. The two colors compete against each other, much like the interacting bodies, vying for an assumed territory, mutual dominance, and power. In her performances, Isabella Fürnkäs explores themes of physical intimacy, the interplay of connection and detachment in digital interactions, and the fragility of societal communication structures.

A series of interchangeable black and white ceramic orbs are installed on the wall. Reminiscent of the abstract strategy game Go (Weiqi), they suggest endless variations of flexible constellations.
