Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen

''A Void''


Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen is born in 1970 in Manila, Philippines. Actually lives in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Lilibeth Cuenca works primarily in the field of new media such as video and computer animation, which she sometimes combines.

"A Void" investigates the identity of an artist and questions the authenticity of the art work and the history of art. Performance art has been very radical in its transgressions and has expanded the categories of art. The authenticity of performance art is related to the here-and-now experience. When the performance is over, it can only be experienced through documentation far from the original experience. Even if it is performed again, it will be very different from the original experience, dependent on the artist, the audience, time and context.
Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen re-enacts other artists' performances in her own way. The point of departure is identical, but the experience will be completely different. The historical re-enactments will follow each other without precedent announcement as one long performance. They will be documented and shown on video after the opening. Traces of the performances will also be present as drawings and photographs.
