TALKER is an interview zine about performance. Each issue publishes a long-form interview with an artist who works in an innovative way with live practice. The interviews discuss process, formative experiences and performance cultures generally.
Issue #16 is a conversation with Martín La Roche. Born in Santiago, Chile, and living now in Amsterdam, his works commonly find starting points in existing collections of objects or memories and archives as modes of storytelling. These often meet their audiences as installations or publications, but this issue of TALKER explores the role performance plays in activating the many facets of his practice. In particular, TALKER examines formative experiences in Chile and as a resident at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, his collaboration informed by psychotherapeutic practices, Sandplay with Mirthe Berentsen, and the ongoing Musée Légitime, a museum inside a hat.
With Dongyoung Lee and Valeria Marchesini, he runs the research platform Good Neighbour and is a member of the collective To See the Inability to See with Arefeh Riahi and Maartje Fliervoet.

A collective performance reading of a foldable, multidirectional book/object called My Garden’s Boundaries Are the Horizon: A Porous Reader to Unguard the Garden by the collective To See the Inability to See with the peerless @_copperbrain .
This section is WRITE ARMOUR, in which a hat is constructed from the fragments of the publication. The audience is invited to wear it as part of a ceremony. This action marks writing as armour, writing as protection and writing as a ritual practice that might neutralise malign forces.
