Tianzhuo Chen Presents: Trance ( Behind The Scenes)

Over the course of the 12hour duration of Tianzhuo Chens latest performance work, Trance, the artist captures the movements of the performers and musicians gathered on the stage in order to document physical and emotional changes that occur over time. As the performance ritual continues he plays back this hyperdetailed footage in slow motion, allowing the audience to shift their perspective of the work in both time and space. These small, selfcontained moments of audiovisual time travel open new portals into the work, opportunities to dive deeper into the ritual and experience the intimacy and ecstasy of those in the trance. Musicians Dis Fig, Ican Harem of Gabber Modus Operandi, City, ØUUK UK1MATU and FelixFlorian Todtloff are joined by choreographer Ylva Falk, rapper KNG KHAN and a host of professional and selftaught performers, including Bidjé de Rosa, Lavinia Vago, Lisette Ros, Ndoho Ange, Omid Tabari and Siko Setyanto.
