A crowd dances to the sound of a music that is not heard played by a band that is not seen. What is left is the sound of the bodies in movement, the image of a moving order.
The Straight Edge is an experiment conducted in a concert of hardcore punk music. The crowd and its intensity provide the material. The shared expressions of joy, violence, and boredom are the elements of the cultural fiction at stake here. Within it, forms are tried, shifted, repeated.
I approach community as a complex interplay in which individuals invent themselves. Sharing rules, postures, rhythms, each one constructs itself and creates a world. This movement of construction is at the heart of my work. I believe that it is always flexible, modifiable, that it can be altered and recreated. I believe in the fiction and the possibility of its reinvention.
