Chaos Theory







Chaos Theory
Performance piece and sound installation
Balloons, paint and  UV lamps
2008

This was a first time colloboration between myself and musicians Stompie Selebi and Phanuel Masike. The piece involved the two musicians responding with sound, in the form of spoken and instumental, to my movement. We were surrounded by approximately 300 balloons filled with air, helium and water. I began by singing a lullaby and painting on the walls of the space, this gradually climaxed into something much more aggressive until I had destroyed all the 'elements' around me. It was a very dark space and so the audience experience was mainly informed by sound and glimpses of movement.
