Facedown builds on a series of one-on-one participatory performances that Asia Stewart conducted throughout 2023. In those earlier works, each audience member received a Polaroid camera and was invited to command Stewart to perform a desired action, producing a single photograph of her carrying it out. The resulting images, titled with the initials of the anonymous participants, reflect the parts of Stewart’s body that strangers felt most compelled to capture. At Kate Werble Gallery, Stewart transforms these photographs into choreographic instructions, linking the isolated gestures together in a looped sequence. Performing behind a screen, Stewart reanimates these private exchanges while exposing only her silhouette, reframing the dynamics of spectatorship.
