This 15-minute experimental audiovisual performance interrogates the fluidity and fragmentation of individual identity within contemporary globalized realities. Through a multidisciplinary synthesis of experimental photography, fragmented sound sampling, and glitch-infused electronic composition, the work constructs an immersive narrative field that oscillates between dislocation and cohesion.
At its core, the piece dissects how digital hyperconnectivity simultaneously dissolves and reconfigures the boundaries between personal agency and imposed societal markers. It probes the visceral tension of identity negotiation across transcultural landscapes—particularly how bodies navigate states of erasure and reclamation under shifting political tectonics.
The work uses destabilized textures and rhythmic voids to mirror the paradox of belonging in an age of algorithmic categorization. Collapsing archival imagery with real-time data distortions invites audiences to confront the fragility of "self" as both a performative construct and a site of resistance.
This is not a spectacle, but a durational meditation on liminality—a call to sit with the discomfort of becoming.
