Feat.
A/C, Jeanie Crystal, Zein Majali, Emily Pope and Tereza Kalousová
Intercore by A/C
A Western music video whose author plays the role of her authoritative grandfather. She tells the story of his regular visits to their local shopping zone where he goes to escape his home environment. Via country music, she looks for her own identity and tries to come to terms with her lack of male role models.
I’m Doing Great (I’m Doing Great) by Tereza Kalousová
Tereza Kalousová narrates a tale about a search for lost keys in a place where everything exists only (at) once. In an attempt to find her keys the central character tries to reconstruct the related events of the previous day. The latent threat of losing one’s own integrity is either a tactic or the failure of that tactic. Forgetting oneself might prove to be a means of remembering something else. A report of a Japanese man marrying a virtual avatar offers a key, or just another keyhole. The gradual transformation into a test subject (rabbit) leads the audience through a system of rabbit holes.
BUST: (predictably) The Nineties by Emily Pope
BUST is a series of audiovisual vignettes by artist Emily Pope, which considers the economy through the lens of satirical memoir. Drawing on the character of the stand-up comic and visuals from karaoke lyric videos, the latest instalment looks at, predictably, the 90s.
Doomscroll 4 by Zein Majali will present a livescore to your morning feed.
Doomscroll 4 includes a live AV performance of original music, archived internet content and generated imagery. Through sampling the torrents of data we consume daily, the performance explores our relationship with tech and the spiritual crisis it evokes.
Lilith by Jeanie Crystal
A sound piece dedicated to Lilith, the woman ousted from the Garden of Eden, presented by Jeanie and the white boys. Make revenge great again.
In cooperation with PAF – a curatorial platform based in Czechia and generously supported by the Southwark Pride Fund.
