A Selection of Curatorial Works

Conjuring - Ben Russell Performance and Films
Kunsthal Charlottenborg, October - November 2018

CONJURING is a live AV performance in which analogue synthesis becomes a spell for conjuring, a tool for geomancy. A mountain emerges, an invisible summit appears. We are earth and we are mountain and we climb forever upwards along a chaos of slopes where synaesthesia is feeling, mapping is modeling, volume (sound) is volume (space), and waveform is mountain song.
