Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?

Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
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.
Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
HEAVY Japanese super group, featuring the sundown delta blues of Kan Mikami, Toshi Ishizuka’s heavy, time folding drumming and Masayoshi Urabe on sax, harmonica and chains.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Umeda is a Japanese artist who is as fascinated in setting up interesting situations to observe, as he is in creating performances.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
