I Cannot Believe I Just Said That

Tuesday 22/2/2022 (Bandar Seri Bengawan, Brunei)

22:04 Four minutes ago I told my mom that I have never seen the pants she was wearing. It was yellow.

22:05 She asked me if I wanted it. 5 minutes ago I answered

22:00 No, Its fine. Its too yellow. I’m kind of sick of yellow at the moment.

22:07 so I took the yellow pants for a dance.

Yasmine Aminanda

Yasmine Aminanda explores the idea of time passing and themes of the ‘mundane’ in daily life through Performance, Time Based media and Archive as Moving Image. They mainly use the narrative of journals and inner monologues as ‘everyday performances’. Process is the key element of their work, symbolic of their search of an identity and a belonging when growing up diasporic. As well as the concept of staying still versus the march of time and everything else in between to represent the bigger picture of ‘Yasmine Aminanda’, be it as a person, an artist or an artwork. Yasmine is part of the south east asian diaspora collective Unamed, and their work has been shown Malaysia, Indonesia and London including the National Visual Gallery of Kuala Lumpur, Maybank National Gallery Malaysia, and has performed in Live Art Development Agency and Tate Exchange.
