Rinse & Repeat is site-specific, environmental performance work was designed to interact with the seven installations in the warehouse exhibition space "On Piety". The improvisational performance highlights, distills and theatricalizes the relationship between the installations, the physical space that contains them, and those who visit it.
Rinse & Repeat's theatrical activity periodically bubbles up among and emerges from the crowd, dissipates, gains momentum. The entire performance loops repeatedly, as gallery visitors wander in and out of the space.
