6 Fragile, isolated, different webcam stations (Style Startrek, Louise Bourgeois, White Cube, Thomas Hirshorn ...) Inside each an actor executes a performance protocol after one day of preparation. The webcam images of the 6 actors are projected as a mosaic on a screen about 10 meters wide. The actors share the responsibility for this common visual and sound space.

Huis Clos / No Exit - On Collaboration is part of the Huis Clos / No Exit artistic research project by Annie Abrahams

Shifts, interruptions, cuts, flux variations, temporary vacuums and coding errors in and between the images, are the aesthetic materials of the performance that will translate our vulnerability in our attempts to communicate in a cyberized environment.
