Kristeva writes: ‘Abjection preserves what existed in the archaism of pre-objectal relationship, in the immemorial violence with which the body becomes separated from another body in order to be [...].’[1]
Abjection, therefore, can be understood as a psychical container of memory. Such a container requires constant attention, movement, and dialogue with other containers. As such, it is utilised as a base on which my practice is formed.
