Stripping back the domesticated ‘meaning’ of (everyday, mundane, kitchen) tools to reveal “a lexicon of rage and frustration.” Plus an allegorical use of mundane, everyday things as an examination of how meaning is constructed in film.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
