A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.

A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.

A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.

A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
