5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.

Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
