Zeitlupe
In 2009 she performed for the first time in front of an audience. In a performance called "Slow motion action painting," she painted on a 15-meter-long canvas using a keffiyeh and a tallit (Jewish prayer shawl). The performance was supported by Artis and presented at Pulse Art Fair on its opening day for 12 consecutive hours. In choosing a keffiyeh and a tallit as painting tools, Cabessa neutralized the highly symbolic charge of those traditional garments while simultaneously uniting them into a harmonious form through the act of painting. They give in to each other and follow each other's motion, in a dialogue that is both formal and conceptual.
