Focus Group

Medium

Performance, Installation, Video, Sound

Year

2018, 2019

Exhibitions

SPACE Mare Street, London / Eastside Projects, Birmingham

Exploring themes of flow, surveillance, individual agency and dematerialisation of the body, Focus Group centres around the spontaneous, unchoreographed interaction of 'recruits' with prototype objects set within a sonic landscape. Over the course of one evening, light, time, and inner workings of the mind materialise and take form through footage captured from simultaneous vantage points over four live sessions—observed by artist researcher, digital camera, and the public.
