Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
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.
Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.
A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
How do you know what you want? Should freedom be doing what you ought, not doing what you want? How might a philosopher and artist turn this thinking into an enabling condition in the context of noise and improvisation?
The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
