Susana Gaudêncio

In Agent Provocateur I cast myself as a hacker, performing an impossible task, which takes place in the International Court of Justice during a session of judicial activity between two nations. The intention was to counterpoint the subjectivity of an individual against the vast system of the world – a place where the sound and fury of political decision would be present. But is there access to such a place of important resolution? Every time the voices of opposing nations in the trial would reach a high decibel level a mechanism would be activated which would then force every door and window to open, bringing air and chaos to the room. I wished to provoke a disruptive moment in the courtroom’s regular function and produce a small poetic gesture, a magical event.
