Emirates Staff No. 460596
2018-2021 - PERFORMANCE
A durational performance in which I was employed as cabin crew for Emirates for a full 3 years, the length of their standard issue contract. The work continues my research and engagement with labour in hospitality, and representation of escape to paradise settings, by claiming ownership to the luxury commodity produced by my performative labour.
The performance produced an extensive archive that holds physical and digital materials as well as immaterial remnants of the three years; official documents, attire, scraps, mundane objects and notably the container that is my body. Below you will find Lavatory Videos, a video piece produced from these archives.
