Performance Lecture with Youngzoo Im
About this Event

Amant New York, Spring 2025 Resident Youngzoo Im presents Future Trace Practice 미래 흔적 연습 , a half-hour performance lecture by Youngzoo followed by a response by Martha Joseph.

Drawing from Youngzoo’s ongoing research into human beliefs about worlds beyond reality—death, apocalypse, and outer space—Future Trace Practice explores how intergenerational knowledge is shaped and carried through movement and migration. The performance lecture focuses on weaving together narratives of taming time; empty graves; migratory birds, revered as sacred liminal beings; and examining how memory, longing, and the act of waiting intertwine with the rhythms of movement and displacement. Integrating video alongside web-based and textual materials, the performance merges speculative storytelling with embodied gestures. The lecture invites audiences to reflect on how we anticipate, construct, and sometimes misinterpret both the past and the future. The response by Martha Joseph will further explore Youngzoo’s performative gestures within the multimedia work.

This program is part of the For Your Reference series, where our artists in residence share and discuss key references informing their ongoing research at Amant. Amant programs are always free. RSVPs are strongly encouraged. Seating is first come, first served with some standing room available. Doors for Future Trace Practice will open at 6:45pm on Wednesday, April 16 in Géza, located at 306 Maujer.
