How do poetry and maths stitch together pictures of our fractured situation from its wreckage and relics, from the debris of hope and the well of residues that make us what we are?
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
