exploring ideas of the collective body and the individual through movement, objects and
sound. The performers form a living painting, using space as a canvas and their bodies

and prejudices discussed in Tale-Danda through fluidity and metamorphosis.

its possible re"articulations.
The performance, in five parts, sketches an arc from an opening ritual of communion,
where we are invited to eat insects, via insect inspired programs of movement and
exchange, through to direct references to political resistance. A constant thematic
throughout the performances is the body of the insect. The insect’s body both in its
living form as socially complex with weird capabilities, and its body as object of study,
collected, archived, classified; subjected. The insect body appears in various forms, as
symbolic exchange, as animal labour, in erotic or menacing relation, but always with an
undercurrent that transposes these strange exchanges onto our own political and social
frame.
performances but these are always attenuated by a fragile and unlikely intimacy. Within
dark corners, obscure evolutions point to something we can do. A magical sympathy of
elements, of microcosms and the whole, of the weird experience of finding yourself other
than expected; these all open out from the nearly Kafkaesque scenography of the
exhibition to underline the plasticity of relations and thoughts and how they can be
otherwise. Sam Bisu - treignac projet.

popular media cultures. The body is subjected to a criminal investigation in which the global
concerns of the economy are placed on the individual. The relation between narrative, text
and visual imagery is revealed through a portrait of contemporary suburban lifestyle.
The global crisis acts as the 'perfect crime' - everyone is guilty. The film examines how
complicit the individual is in the global perfect crime, a crime in which we are all suspects
searching for a witness, an other. The film was made through a site-specific collaborative
process in which the three artists erase the idea of the author to create a fictional subjectivity
both in writing and film.

It embodies the staircase on a nude,it transforms Duchamp's image into a living participative
sculpture. The participative installation investigates the movement of people filmed descending
the Aldeburgh Beach Lookout staircase. Passers-by were invited to be active subjects in the
filming of the project. A high definition video image is created overlapping 30 film layers to
reflect on ideas of time and movement. The film is then projected inside the Lookout Gallery.
The public are encouraged to sing a harmonic sound that is amplified in the space to be part
of a ritual that makes them the art work as a moving bodily canvas for the projection. The
ideas of science and technology that informed Duchamp's original analogue painting
concept are explored through a digital contemporary form (video projection). The clothed
movement of people descending a staircase is projected on a 'Nude torso'. Duchamp's
painting in 1912 explored the mechanics of movement and its reframing in painting. '...
we have two parallel movements which correspond to one another.' Duchamp. In our
installation we deform the staircase through the bodily projection. We take the subject
of Duchamp's painting, the Nude and use it as a living canvas. Abstracted from the
figure in Duchamp's painting, the figure returns with a real presence. Projection and
breath together create a living presence for the descent of the staircase. The Public
become the work in the Installation. They are transformed into a skin canvas for the
descent of the staircase. Their bodies take the work from the outside to the inside
of the body. The figures descending the staircase appear to enter the navel of the
person being projected on. The staircase descends the naked chest. The work
becomes a mirror, it inverses Duchamp's idea.

Premiere of our new film made during the two month Bains Connective residency. The work
process was called 'locating the mouth of the collective body' investigating ideas of time,
community as a 'body' and the mouth as a point of entry into the community. We developed
these ideas working with different age groups, exploring language/non-language possibilities,
the mouth and its tracing in alginate, plaster and sound. This project was filmed in the Berlioz
Senoirs Club, Vorst, and in Ixelles, Brussels. Made in collaboration with Gines Olivares.

How do artists work today? How do they speak about their method? How can one make a start with documenting,
discussing and sharing the hybrid and heterogeneous practices that underpin the performing arts today? How can
the informal and embodied discourses, as well as the implicit knowledge they carry, find a wider recognition and
accessibility? A series of monthly salons, organized by Sarma in different locations in Brussels, create a live
research environment for makers and researchers to address issues of new artistic practices and discourses.

'monuments to memory games' is an exhibition that examines ideas of 'play' in relation to memory
and history through installation, video and live performance. The process of play is central to
mmmmm's work. Through play they are engaged with issues of what is performance? What is the
spectacle in performance? What evokes memory? How can histories be reconstructed in the
documentation of performance. How through engaging in play can the experience of memory and
history be made more risky, more present. collaboration with Gines Olivares and Felipe Luck.

04.06.10 - 06.09.10 La possibilité de révolution - solo exhibition
La Cité des Insectes - Chaud 87120 NEDDE, Limoges, France.
Site-specific installation exploring the possibility of revolution.
The artists work under a 'Tree of Liberty' planted around 1789 as a symbol of the French Revolution,
making a one to one encounter with the museum visitors and workers. They take a mould of a
person's finger, a trace of an intimate moment with a stranger.
They use the former communal Village bread oven as an exhibition space, installing the plaster
casts of people's fingers; organising them in clear structures, organic piles, groups and individual
units.
The installation reflects on and proposes a challenge to the way in which museums are structured
and present objects. There are three traditional museum display cabinets placed in the space, the
plaster fingers are inside and outside of them; in the former oven, in a bird's nest in the stone wall.
The installation contains different situations of the plaster cast fingers using some of the technical
equipment of science and museums such as a light box, a slide carousel, an inspection lens.

ritual, a meditation on what is missing. We also showed a new framed photographic work made in collaboration with photographer Ignacio Acosta.

of a dead whale to the beach. This allowed the main ritual of The Hain to commence. Produced in collaboration

Pullens Centre, Elephant and Castle, London.
The name 'Elephant and Castle' probably derives from the emblem on the Cutlers' Company, a guild founded in the 13th
century to represent workers who made knives, scissors and surgical instruments. The handles of these instruments
often used Indian elephant ivory, hence the 'Elephant' image. The 'Castle' represents the 'howdah' a seat placed on the
back of the elephant traditionally used by the hunters.
In 1641, a constant stream of horse-drawn vehicles led to a blacksmith, John Flaxman, setting up a forge on an island
site between the main roads. Around 1760, the metal workers premises became an 'inn' and was renamed the 'Elephant and Castle.'

Rockhouse Gallery, Isle of Sheppey, UK. "Insula Ovinium" - Art & Performance event organized by Nicole Mollett
Review by David Medalla, Performance artist.
mmmmm (consisting of Chilean poet Luna Montenegro and English artist Adrian Fisher) performed a dramatic piece
entitled "Art of War" the grass-grown ampitheatre in front of the Rockhouse a couple of metres from the sea. Adrian,
dressed in the military uniform of a tin-pot dictator, heavily laden with spurious medals, strutted in exaggerated goose-steps,
with one hand up raised in the Heil Hitler salute, around the statuesque figure of Luna wrapped entirely, at the start of the
performance, in a silken chatreuse-red cloth. Gradually Adrian (the Dictator) unravelled the cloth, on which he laid supine
facing the figure of Luna dressed in a bright green see-through netting dress, surmounted by a green structure on her head.
Luna, like a goddess of the jungle, gradually advanced towards the figure of the dictator, and (to the surprise of the spectators
who watched the performance in silence) Luna pissed on the chest of the supine Dictator. "I grew up in Chile at the time of the
dictator Pinochet," said Luna Montenegro afterwards, "and I will piss any time on any dictator anywhere".
