Round A/Void
Nuit Blanche 2024, Daniels Spectrum, Toronto
Round A/Void is the first of an iterative, multimedia, installation series that falls within the overlaps of interactive theatre, expanded cinema, and architectural intervention. At the heart of the series stands a 8x8 foot, two-way mirror cube, surrounded by surreal sets, each centering a familiar furniture; bed, bath, dining table and sofa. Evoking distinct yet universally embodied impressions, these four domestic archetypes and their multitude of connotations, act as the backbone of a dream narrative that unfolds in time and space through an autonomous theatrical performance of lights, projections and soundscapes. As the walls of the cube oscillate between reflective surface and transparent threshold in relation to exterior shifting light and interior visual projections, the space and its occupants become immersed in a continual state of transformation. In this mercurial imagining of an archetypal house, as bodies and spaces overlap, collage, fragment, appear and disappear, so do the boundaries of set, performance and audience.
