Trelkovsky, the main character in Roman Polanski’s 1976 psychological thriller, The Tenant, is literally a tenant: a person who rents an apartment from a landlord. While, this term is useful in its literal sense, the figurative definition of a tenant as anyone who occupies space that does not wholly belong to her or him offers more substantive insight to Trelkovsky’s state. His body: a tenant to his mind; his mind: the product of a complex socialization process within a political, moral, and economic cultural framework. Through film, sound and performance, several artists will attempt to explore, challenge and disrupt the cultural narratives that socialize us into relationships with our bodies, as well as the political economies in which these narratives are constructed in a nonlinear format and immersive environment.
