Pace Investigations No.4 is a fifteen-day performance art piece and residual installation by artist Sandrine Schaefer. Each day, the same performance is repeated and either loses or recovers time. As this occurs, the actions that make up the performance must shift. Some actions become unrecognizable from previous days. Some merge to become a different action all together. Some actions are abandoned, while others increasingly gain significance. The work asks how one copes with acceleration, deceleration, and ambiguity when enduring institutional mediation, shared space, the presence of organic and inorganic materials, and other external forces.
The work is site-sensitive and functions as a corporeal archive of the context transmitted through a singular body. It is an exercise in identifying what is essential in the moment. It is an exercise in surrender. It is an exercise that exposes the vulnerability of the human body by revealing its complex relationship to time.
