(2016) Manic Metalshop
A performance piece modeled after competitive cooking shows, I have 15 minutes to create a steel replica of Duchamp’s “Bicycle Wheel”.
This performance was viewed live by my audience through surveillance cameras installed in the metalshop (L & R screens). On the centre screen, pre-recorded footage and soundtrack offer a commentary that contradicts what is happening in real time, puncturing the ongoing CCTV feeds.
