One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
This programme is a celebration of Charlemagne Palestine; passionate, extravagant, visceral. Including two sections from Ritual dans le Vide, an extension of his ‘running camera’ works of the 70’s and Pip Chodorov’s vibrant workout of a live version of Strumming Music.
Chris Corsano, Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in the Hamilton Mausoleum, Hamilton.

The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.

A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
