Tina Atami's performance unfolds through a simple, private ritual made public: the repetitive act of braiding. For eight continuous hours, she loops braid after braid — a gesture drawn from her real-life habit. It is something she always does when she feels the need to go but cannot — when she is bored, tired, overwhelmed, or silently resisting a moment she can't escape.

The braid becomes a portal. A way to be present and also gone.

What may appear as procrastination is, for Tina, a form of care. A quiet refusal. A body's intelligence asserting itself. In this durational piece, she reclaims procrastination from shame and repositions it as a necessary, even sacred, activity — a soft escape without drama. A natural pause between what is expected and what is true.

Through this looping gesture, she invites reflection:

Why do we procrastinate? What are we protecting? Is the task we avoid truly aligned with our presence and happiness?

To procrastinate is to listen — and in listening, to reclaim the right to slow down, resist, and gently escape.
