Al Conductor

Video documentation of performance.
Duration: 10 minutes

Through live recording, I can, just like the leader of a militia, hidden in a secret terrain and broadcasting live to an audience of three thousand, be performing in two places at the same time. I can be remotely responding to the speech with my body, fitting well within an image that is in fact hostile to my very existence. The violent gestures of the man in full thrust of his discourse delivery become instructive to the movement of my hips. This dance was recorded and screened to a gathered audience in a 7 square meter.
