Pull Tug Pull #1 (2024)

(PERFORMANCE)

Duration: 1 hour

Location: Republican Party of Los Angeles office, Los Angeles, CA, USA

The artist engages in a silent struggle against pillars of power. Barefoot and shirtless, wearing only jeans, Vinson mimes an intense tug of war with “invisible” opponents representing key institutions. Through physical metaphor, the work explores the tension between personal autonomy and institutional authority. The performance challenges viewers to consider their relationship with power structures and how they can apply their agency.
