Performance

Rachel Lee Hovnanian's performances are a journey through the surreal and the profound, where reality blurs with dystopian imagination. From the chillingly futuristic "Perfect Baby Showroom," where parents select ideal infants like products from a grocery aisle, to the bittersweet nostalgia of Pink Lemonade, symbolizing the longing for lost human connection in a digital age, her work resonates deeply. Through immersive experiences like NDD Immersion Room, she invites participants to confront their disconnection from nature, while NDD Waiting Room offers a sterile contrast, questioning our relationship with the natural world. Hovnanian's performances are not just spectacles; they are visceral explorations of identity, memory, and the essence of being human in a world where reality shifts towards artificial perfection and away from genuine connection.
