Threshold Studies

Threshold Studies is an audience-activated performance project exploring how meaning emerges through minimal physical action and perception. Inspired by Samuel Beckett’s Film (1965), the work treats simple actions as sites of meaning rather than representation. Visitors are invited to carry out open performance scores, alone or with others, for any duration. By scanning a QR code, participants glitch-record their actions. These recordings resist documentation, revealing gaps, distortions, and the instability of perception. No audio is recorded. Avoiding spectacle, Threshold Studies focuses on slowness, stillness, and quiet participation, inviting brief encounters that shift between clarity and disruption.

Glitch-record your quiet, self-reflective ritual. Contribute to the evolving video pool.
