Roman Candles is the latest text in a series of performances produced during the artist’s residency at Triangle - Astérides. It is part of a broader project built around an imaginary underground and various forms of territorialization. This filmed performance adds to the sequences already shot for the creation of an upcoming video work.
Roman Candles focuses on Slinky, the founder of a pirate radio station undergoing an existential crisis about complicity and resource distribution, and Fritzi, the goddaughter of Dieter Rams, whose mother struggles with a gambling addiction.
Roman Candles follows Kerosene Knock on Radio Slinky, presented at Voiture 14 on February 26, 2022.
