Two Subjects Subject: homage to Brakhage, little-seen footage from 1958 http://www.asondheim.org/brakhagebreakage.mp4 Subject: blurb for our upcoming show at Millennium in New York (date to be announced) Crepuscle (Twilight) explores the exigencies of dance, eroticism, cultural restriction, and arousal; it was edited from over a dozen segments in Geneva. The work tenders the null-point of language, a point where words stutter, where the body takes over, where cultural tropes are transformed and lost. It's the deliberate creation of repressed memories. It challenges the conventions of dance - turning dance inside-out. For the three of us, it's the culmination of an erotic element in our work that has all been lost in contemporary culture. Crepuscle rides the muscle of the body and jouissance, opening a territory which remains virtual, haunting. A number of short works with Foofwa, shot in Geneva, Gruyeres, and the Aletsch Glacier in the Swiss Alps, will also be shown.
