Wild Life Take Away Station

Wild Life Take Away Station (2009 – 2010)

Installation / Images / Film / Choreography

Commissioned by the X Baltic Triennial Vilnius & Hebbel Am Ufer Berlin. Imagine a man and a woman inhabiting a specially constructed space for 24 hours and exploring the effects associated with the revelation of hidden paradoxes that manifest themselves when supposedly secrets are unveiled but never revealed. Imagine two people caught in their own time warp, their own ideological trap and  dealing with symbioses between the human and the animalistic; between a dream state and a national sense of social unity inside the confines of an extremely tamed environment. In stripping every inch of contextual reality out of its psychological realm, Wild Life Take Away Station, is at the same time revealing the imprisonment of an imagined reality that perhaps never occurred inside an old abandoned traditional wooden house.

The Film, The installation, The Images & The Sound are all primary ingredients of the work which originally created as part of the 24-hour installation.

The installation was developed in close collaboration with performers Ria Higler and Diego Agulló, composer Norscq, dramaturge Gabriel Smeets and voice /sound artists Kirk Ross aka Black Sifichi and Veronique Ruggia-Saura, camera : Aurelija Maknyte, art direction : Vladimir Petkovic, technical direction : Sebastian Bauer
