Unheroic Labours #2, 2020
By Maija Tammi and Charles Quevillon
HD 1080p, colour, sound, 11 min. 10 sec., 2020.
Mentor: choreographer Tedd Robinson.
The work revisits Hercules’s second labour, which was to kill the multi-headed water serpent Hydra. However, in the artwork, killing is replaced with dancing, and the monster Hydra is not the mythic hydra, but rather the real freshwater polyp Hydra. And cats like water.
The 1m3 of Human Experiment, 2018
Maija Tammi and Charles Quevillon
Performance with video, 20 min.
The work is a vivid, claustrophobic, and possibly an occasionally nauseating artwork that examines the problematic separation of mind and body and questions the trustworthiness of our senses. In the work, a human confined in a square box tries to make sense of his world. A cable coming out of his mouth connects him to a simulation surrounding him. The work combines performance, audio, and video art.
