“A quiet lyricism and poetic rhythm couches my explorations of shame, sexual content and the dangers and pleasures of self-exposure. In submitting to my own self-exposure, I propose my work as a gift to the viewer.”

‘Marking Cane’ was part of the Loo Zihan’s research into ‘Brother Cane’ – a 1994 performance that led to a ten-year restriction of licensing and funding of performance art in Singapore. ‘Marking Cane’ marks a return of the ‘ghost’ of previous reenactments to the site where Zihan first presented it in Chicago at the Defibrillator Gallery. The 90-minute performance consisted of a brief lecture performance and the subsequent re-enactment of the gestures in the 2011 performance in cadence with the video documentation of the 1994 (Singapore), 2011 (Chicago) and 2012 (Singapore) performances.
