Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Taking The Futurist Cinema’ manifesto and turning it into software to track ‘aluminium’ online, tracing relationships companies with interests in aluminum had to each other and other agencies.
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.

An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
