Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.

When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
