The Human Gallery

Downcafe

Viva Wittman

Bennington, VT

2015

The Human Gallery is a performance art piece where performers are engaged in tasks related to getting ready for a date without acknowledging they are being observed. The audience is asked to closely look at some of the most private moments of these people’s lives - shaving, choosing clothes and putting on makeup. It fosters an appreciation for the care, the artistry and the intimacy of an act that is almost never seen.
