MORE INFO
This work is a unique mix of film and live performance, where the narrator/performer exists in many different shapes and places.
Over 100 years ago, an art movement began in Zurich called 'Dada'. It rejected reason and logic and embraced the absurd as a response to global chaos. Now, we again find ourselves struggling to make sense of the many conflicts and ecological crises we are living through. In the spirit of Dada, this performance and film touches on: dreams and visions, other living beings who eat grass, brutality and survival, trees fighting back, the history of photography, concrete underfoot, how to pose, the sound of plastic, the wrong clothes, confused golfers and the centre of the world.
Richard Layzell has been showing installations, films and performances internationally since 1980. He’s worked collaboratively with communities in Bristol, Shanghai, Perth (Australia), London, Canvey Island, Glasgow and Dundee, and teaches at University of the Arts London.
