Eisa Jocson is an artist and performer. We speak about:

fixing oneself in the thing we are trying to unfix

the fluidity of the human form

actions that are related to a very specific social context

the richness of experience of actually being in a context

assimilating to context

the need for deconstruction

"asking for the stereotype to move closer towards me" - matt cornell

"it's like they don't trust the object or experience is enough to bring the people to that realisation" EJ
