In the near darkness of an ephemeral club, five bodies oscillate, in a trance, between the power of the collective and minimalist intimacy exploring subjectivity, queer embodiment and desire. This performance relies on a durational experience.

In the near darkness of an ephemeral club, five bodies vibrate, entranced by constantly evolving and hypnotic electronic loops. Untitled (Holding Horizon) draws inspiration from the box step, a movement used in several popular dances, in order to create a subtle and captivating choreography. Synchronized movements coexist with moments of sliding and letting go, creating a striking dynamic between the power of the collective and minimalist intimacy. The artist, co-founder and member of the feminist and queer collective Kem, winner of the prestigious Frieze Artist Award in 2018, presents a work of rare and radical beauty, exploring community, subjectivity, queer embodiment and desire.
