Chorus /
in vain I will away is a project that works with the
body in unconventional ways, distilling a single heap of body, stripped of
the privilege of identity, into dark spaces; exploring the
representation of violence, fear and the unknown; influenced by Dante's
Divine Comedy, Butoh, Mythology and Folk Tales, a range of classical
painting traditions, contemporaries like Giorgio Agamben, foreign
correspondents and the timeless notion of Homo Sacer.
