A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Kanta is a young Japanese artist with a home-made, short circuited take on electronics and physical phenomena which he uses in performance to produce close circuit systems of audio / video feedback.
