The Mole, the Serpent, the Virus
From Jon Irigoyen's homepage:
Set
in a dystopic future in the year 2024, the installation-performance
speculates about future scenarios and possible next stages of modern
capitalism as accelerated by the COVID-19 outbreak. Motions of
repetition and looping run throughout the piece as overarching patterns,
pointing to questions about the construction of historical narratives
and inner mechanics of global economic and social crises. Unfolding in
three chapters, The mole, the serpent, the virus speculates about
imagined futures in attempt at navigating through present challenging
times. .
Concept and direction by Jon Irigoyen. In collaboration with Gabriele
Goria, Inari Virmakoski, Kristian Palmu, Joona Pettersson and Suvi
Hänninen.
The project
is part of Jon Irigoyen's artistic research at Aalto University
Department of Art. Project kindly supported by Kone Foundation, and
presented in partnership with Esitystaiteen Seura and Aalto
University.
