Dear Jennifer, from the Conversion Project
In Dor Guez’s work, Dear Jennifer, we see a young girl reading a letter over and over again in an attempt to achieve a perfect performance. She is reading a personal farewell letter which she has received from her reflexology instructor after her successful graduation. The letter reveals the instructor’s surprise by the fact that the student is Arab. The work points out how generating meaning involves the use of repetitive patterns and is very often reflective. Thus the work suggests the perpetual tension between reflection and performance as one that holds the ability to expose social and aesthetic structuring.
