Starkly repetitive and energetic, NUTCRUSHER looks at sexual objectification and power. The
work questions how we relate to our bodies, how they are presented and re-presented, and how
cultural context affects this.
Sung Im Her is interested in how her three identities of woman, performer and migrant intersect,
especially in relation to the #metoo and #timesup movements that began in the west and had a
huge impact in Korea.
The #metoo movement in Korea was severely repressed. When allegations/stories started to
come to the surface, it had an explosive effect. The work is also informed by experiences of
being looked at in unnerving and disempowering ways. With NUTCRUSHER, Sung Im Her draws
our attention to the gaze, to how we look and what affect that may have.
Commissioned by the Korean Arts Council, Nutcrusher premiered at ARKO, Seoul in
January 2019. It has been invited to Dance Days in Bruges in December 2019 and is
available in 2019-20.
