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.

A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.

An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.

Looking at and listening to different ideas about sound and music, INSTAL 09’s collection of artists included Tetsuo Kogawa, vocalist Joan La Barbara, Phil Minton (and his Century FC feral choir), Austrian Actionist Hermann Nitsch, Steve McCaffery and many more.
