Claudia Cannizzaro, PEOPLE FIRST, PERFORMANCE NOW, 2012
The title of the performance is borrowed from the Malaysian national slogan: One Malaysia, People First Performance Now
The performance comprises four hand printed sarongs and a list of words that Malaysians used to describe their country.
The sarongs' floral pattern is based on the map of Malaysia. Each sarong is dedicated to a different ethnic group present in contemporary Malaysia.
The yellow is for the Malay; the red for the Chinese; the blue for the Indian. The fourth one, white, is for the Dan Lain-Lain, all of the others.
A woman walks barefoot wearing a yellow sarong: when she stops in front of a wall with 5 vents that look like balconies, we realize the word Malay is painted across the back of the sarong. She pauses and then takes it off and hangs it on the first vent. Underneath she is wearing a red sarong, with the word Chinese painted on it. She takes it off and hangs it on the second vent, exposing a blue sarong with the word: Indian. She takes it off and hangs it on the third vent, and underneath she is wearing a white one with the word Dan Lain Lain—all of the others, in Malay language. She pauses in front of the fourth vent still wearing the white sarong, while someone in the audience reads a paragraph with the artist's considerations on whom these Dan Lain-Lain are. At the word One Malaysia, she takes off the fourth sarong and turn to look at the audience, standing next to the four sarongs while the reader reads the list of words. The performance ends with the reader saying: People First, Performance Now.
