Rumble Rupture Tear Crack


VCA Performance, 2020

As things around us begin to shift and malfunction, tension rises between holding on to a sense of normalcy and realising that it is not, in fact, in our interest to do so. My practice explores this tension. Through audio, video and performance I invite people to participate in deconstructing the spaces they encounter and the power structures that produce them. I ask people to consider who benefits from the way things are and how we might change this. I propose that by physically engaging with the world, through movement and touch, we can reveal its contradictions and propensity for transformation.
