Orphan Dance

2018/2023
Animate installation 

Orphan Dance transforms the gallery into a ritual space to reimagine the relationships between humans and machines. Using and re-contextualising materials and devices often found in homes, offices, gyms, and nightclubs as ceremonial objects, it explores how human interactions with technology can be staged and enacted differently, in ways that emphasise and disrupt the binaries of master and slave; user and service provider; domination and submission.

His practice is nurtured by gender theories, queer philosophies and night parties.
