As part of the annual program on the rewriting of roles, Swimming in My Shoes is presented by artist Nazanin Mehraein (IR/AT). Within a circular, enclosed environment, Mehraein and a body puppet embody repetitive gestures of everyday life: minimal routines that, infused with a surreal undertone, are transformed - through persistence - into acts of resilience. The work does not present routine as something banal, but as a technology of survival, a silent way of insisting amid rupture. Rather than offering a didactic approach to coping with an overwhelming reality, the project suggests that it is within the realm of the everyday where the subject - even under regimes of fear, surveillance, and control - can deploy micro-tactics capable of diverting macro-structures. Swimming in My Shoes thus operates as a performative manual of everyday rebellion: a territory of gray zones where obedience and cunning, resignation and creativity, mourning and joy coexist. The performance, in resonance with some of Michel de Certeau's ideas, suggests that it is within ordinary practices where closed systems are most effectively subverted: diverting paths, rewriting maps with the body, reading obliquely, improvising recipes, consuming or using media in ironic or dislocated ways, loving unconditionally. In these gestures, collectivity ceases to appear as an alienated mass and instead reveals itself as a constellation of subjects capable of inventing, in the smallest gestures, persistent forms of resistance.
