Postural Drainage (Alternative method)

"Postural drainage (alternative method)" draws thought from a medical practice that keeps the lungs and other body airways clean and functioning. The artist follows the suggested steps to perform this technique, replacing the medical equipment required with household objects. The performance consists of five attempts to execute the therapy using different objects. These include an ironing table, a ladder, office chairs, towels, and pillows. 

During the pandemic, fake news and messages circulated about vaccines, face masks, and even how to deal with the disease, including postural drainage methods. The performance questions how much information we receive is authentic and how reliable a source can be. Likewise, it reflects to what extent following misleading ideas or instructions may be harmful. Using the surgical gown while performing the exercises, the artist makes each exercise look somewhat authentic.
