Plus One offers the playful action of recreating a jigsaw puzzle with the artist. The image appearing in front of our eyes is the foundation for a conversation about conviviality, affinity, the eroticisation of the gaze and other topics.

This performance was conceived during lockdown. For Sophie Guisset, doing puzzles was a fundamental activity, a sort of mental escape during the period of isolation. It had therapeutic virtues, providing a way to focus her mind on a task at hand and get her thoughts in order. By sharing time with only one spectator at a time, she creates an intimate relationship with a stranger, until a subtly erotic tension emerges between the hands and the eyes, searching for an additional part.

spoiler alert: the image for the puzzle was made in collaboration with queer pornographer Goodyn Green.
