How can imagining the future of a single contested site like Smedjegatan 5, help reflect on the tensions shaping the city of Gothenburg?

Overview


	An audiovisual performance presented live at Smedjegatan 5 in Gothenburg aka Syntropia. The site-specific work questions the past, present, and future of this address by putting it in dialogue with a spiritual twin, the Whirling-In-Rags. This performance uses Streaming Diffusion and Touchdesigner to reinterpret archival images, video game footage from Disco Elysium, and footage of the area I captured during neighborhood walks. The piece was performed using live generated visuals accompanied by a text I wrote and performed by Oshin Siao Bhatt, on the potential futures of the area. Photos of event by Robin Rydén.
