The project Out of Bounds, Out of Gaze aims to detach the concept of “territory” from the large-scale structures – nations, institutions, political machines – that traditionally claim ownership over it, and return territoriality to the scale of the individual body, by reinterpreting the map–territory distinction, hacker theory, and simulacra. The project proposes that each person can generate their own world through their own organic body.
It is a choreographed version of the games, such as “Hide and Seek” and “Playing Tag.” This pursuit is not merely a performance gesture – it embodies the tension between being mapped and mapping oneself, between the imposed gaze and self-determined space-making. The camera-bearing performer becomes an instrument of cartography: a mobile agent of surveillance, capture, and definition. The performer who evades becomes a living territory, constantly renegotiating boundaries through motion, concealment, reappearance, and resistance.
