September 23, 2015The cycle of Ragnarok short film
April 16, 2015The website for the short film “The cycle of Ragnarök” has gone live, with the added trailer. If you are a gallery or art organisation and wish to view the full film please email me on alexandra@parlourcollective.co.uk
The cycle fo Ragnarök is a 6-7 minute performance that comprises the whole last part of the saga of Raganrok, or “the twilight of the gods”. This performance was writen by Cristina Valquiria aguiar in 2011 but developed and produced later by myself for a short film.
Ragnarök is an Icelandic mythological story that expresses through metaphors the natural environment in which is set against, that of the nordic icelandic landscape. In this complex saga one navigates through contrasting symbols of ice and fire, which stand for the dual landscape of snow and volcanos.
Synopsis: An expressionist visual/dance/movement performance with original choreography and original music portraying the nordic mythological saga of the “Twilight of the gods”.

Collaboration artist/performer/photographer
February 27, 2011This is a performance idea I asked my friend Bobby to help me document. Bobby is an artist and professional photographer who has a special sensitivity to catch the mood and mystery of an art performance. He has done most of the photography for our Parlour collective group:

He knows instinctively what I want and is able to catch the situationism in any performance.
