THE ASCENT OF MAN. PART III: ACTS OF CONSUMPTION
Jayce Salloum’Acts of Consumption’, to consume or to consume oneself. Sex and violence, sermons of love and social struggle, demonstrations, demolitions. The analogies become almost narrative.

Science brings forth technology : screens, clocks, machines.....

Two figures stroll through it without ever meeting each other, and cast a circumspect gaze on this architecture they will ultimately fail to appropriate....
OGNI PENSIERO VOLA
Bart Van Dessel - Stefan FranckMemory is acknowledged by the earliest dance theorists as one of the fundamental principles in dance performances.
