In the performance LEAKS, Deva Schubert explores the phenomenon of sharing (taboo) knowledge and the porosity of information structures. The concept of "leaking" refers both to the passing on and disclosure of secret information and to the slow seepage of fluids. Here, leaking is not only examined metaphorically, but also as a physical and biologica phenomenon. The artist uses her body as an instrument to graduall reveal personal and private spaces that exist within the institutiona framework and to question social norms.
