The Ape of Nature
7m
Overview
Investigates memory and the uncanny through the experience of hypnotized subjects who communicate via a glacial and slow storytelling informed by suggestion and the working of the unconscious. Art is the ape of nature—the imitation, the mirror, the follies of human invention that strive for the divine. Inspired by Herzog’s 'Heart of Glass,' the performers evoke a murky past and foreshadow a dystopic future.
