Yve Laris Cohen: Studio/Theater

Yve Laris Cohen creates installations and performances that challenge theconventions of dance and visual art. His work uses elements of theatricalarchitecture—walls, curtains, rigging systems, and sprung floors—and considersthe everyday labor that goes into constructing, handling, and maintaining them.These materials transform over time, whether from physical deterioration,active repair, or changing status from architecture into artwork and backagain. Drawing connections between structural damage and bodily illness, theartist stages narratives of trauma and care, conflict and support,vulnerability and dependency.
