Being a longtime collaborator of Antonia Baehr, Lindy Annis gives an account of their first collaboration Nom d'une Pipe (2006). This performances addressed the intermingling of biographies through the gesture of smoking a pipe. This partnership came into being through an affinity based on Lindy's research on gestures that appears in her body of work of the past ten years. In her case, gestures are approached as movements establishing relations and expressing sets of identities in a social context. For her latest solo Pose (2013), she offers a reception history of ancient sculptures and how their postures and gestures are reflected in our contemporary behaviour, therefor analyzing and deconstructing the disposition of power, gender and status they entail.
