Doppelganger / Temple

A live dual projection performance using manually warped time markers in addition to regular cuts, Doppelganger induces a sensation of doubt and deception through manipulations in temporal continuity. Sources evolve from mirror reflections in cinema and recording errors in VHS to complete signal failure and pulsing erratic noise, each layer rending the veils of simulation. In Temple, the performer has replaced the shaman/priest, and the screen/sound has replaced the performer. Pulling from the cultural dictionary of cinematic micro phrases to deliver a ceremonial edit of sigils and signs. In this post-faith, post-flesh world, our spectacular séance will weave recorded media (aka the power of the dead) into a spastic orgy of cut ups.
