Artist Statement
An ensemble of figures appear - each engaged in modes of performative action, where elements of dance, spatial practice and music hint at the choreographic potential of the collective presence, of bringing the body into other forms of becoming, of something ‘other’. The group’s actions are in part developed from a number of sources. Themes and motifs suggest alternative systems of belief that I have explored in readings about modernist counter culture, architecture, environmentalism and cinema.
Splicing the image from one into another is experimented with, suggesting a shuffling of time frames - past into a possible future, future into the past.
