The Exceptional Duet: Project Seeing

【In response to the closure of the venue, Project Seeing originally scheduled from 2 to 5 December 2020 has been cancelled and refunded. The performance on 1 December 2020 be performed as scheduled.】

The world is dazzling yet it is also virtual: reality turns into fragments that become increasingly disjointed, images rush outside our bodies and inside our minds. Paul Virilio once said, “Images promote forgetting.“ Do you agree?
 
Project Seeing—a laboratory where we practise seeing. Those taking part in the experiment subject themselves to unease,　uncertainties and instabilities,delving deep into their own memories as they observe one trial after another,traversing images, memory, narratives and dreamscapes, focussing on both the surface and core of contemporary life, constructing scenarios in which they question and observe each other.

If we creep slowly in a world dominated by rapid successions of images, how (else) can we observe?
