The Sex Was Over
Performance for video projection, narration, and live dancer, 2014.
An excerpt from a larger piece of writing, The Sex Was Over tells the story of a magical moment at a Berlin nightclub, in which a man's dancing initiates the rewinding of time and the reshaping of the cityscape. A voice recounts the story as an electronica track by Moderat builds in the background. A dancer emerges from the audience and moves in the darkness as the story's narrative is projected sentence-by-sentence above him.

The Sex Was Over was first presented at the launch of artist Shaan Syed's The Andrew Project book at Galerie Michael Janssen, Berlin, and featured dancer and choreographer Jeremy Wade. A second iteration features curator Derrick Chang performing at Viva, Vancouver. Nemer performed the dancing role at the Glasgow Centre for Contemporary Art in 2017.
