premiere
I seek ways to present and share a process that has been and continues to be street, clubbing, intimate, crooked. It is a practical investigation and speculation, born of lived experience. Of being present in places and spaces, in the body, of being part of them. I tell stories, share family archives and others collected over many years. I question performance, academia, and weave together plants, the city, and social processes of destruction and creation of cultures and bodies. To be literally traversed by many things. To be traversed. To be or to be mischievous, to disturb. To serve myself on a tray. To be a street between two main roads. To be a crossing.
Spaces for clubbing for a single body.
Oracles for endless parties.
To (un)solve the world.
