STAKRA
4’ 50’’, color, 4/3, mixed (analog synths, wobbulator, hearn videolab), 2017
Directed by Sara Bonaventura
It’s a mystical and hallucinatory journey of a resilient subject, not yet completely seduced by the machines;
entangled in their challenging system, but radiating dynamism while struggling for self determination.
Getting lost, falling apart, splitting, vanishing and resetting. Finding balance in between.
The performer is Annamaria Ajmone.
Soundtrack by Von Tesla
A choreography processed with analog synths and a wobbulator, a modified monitor known as Paik Raster Manipulation Unit, at Signal Culture.
