Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Droner responsible for Fordell Research Unit, Muscletusk’s murk manipulator and Metzian concrete-mixer cement international relations and yr heids.
