REVIEW EXTRACTS

Art Review

Two-screen interactive video installation with sound. shows two interiors inhabited by performers. Their action may be interrupted by noise from spectators in the gallery. There is a play between contained and impervious images and the intimacy of a live encounter. (1–2 on the road.)

A performance installation featuring a cluster of performers who move as a single amorphous entity, akin to molecules, a flock of birds or a swarm of bees. (3 hrs +.)

A five-screen video installation in which momentary encounters between the performers are held to become intimate exchanges, where everyday incidents and seemingly insignificant events are played very slowly. (1–2 on the road.)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
Large scale video installation.
