How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon
