Fia Neises in Zürich

The photograph shows Irene Giro and Fia Neises, the two performers from "With or Without You." Both are white and disabled, both are perceived as female and non-disabled. Irene has dense brown, long curls and is slender. Fia has dark blonde, straight, ear-length hair. Her body is larger and softer than Irene's. The photograph shows both in white silk, a 14-meter-long fabric that is hung from the ceiling in the middle. The two ends hang heavily to the floor, and the protagonists wrap, climb, swing, hang, and hold themselves in it. Fia is blind and asked Irene what they were doing in the picture. Then they remembered.

«With or without you» – I need you, I don't need you. You assist me - nonetheless.
