Our Suspended Corridors

There are 26 vertebrae in the adult human spine. I couldn’t order a replacement. My spine is the length of this light.

Our Suspended Corridors is a collaboration with sound artist and producer Conrad Kira.

It is dance, live sound, wheels, text and a lot of strip lights. It explores notions of urban healing and the concrete fetish, the absorption of bone, noise and cement. Navigating the complex tensions between inherent strength and the impact of damage.

Get up, just get up…up. It’s better to go out on a high.

Some new kind of high rise
