No Fall Games

No Fall Games is a choreography of actions and gestures taken from security systems, video game violence and self-policing culture. The performance takes place inside an installation that creates a setting of fear, a saturated all-rules scenario that confines us to a stressful environment. It posits the state of panic as an infrastructure and a convenient excuse for imposing hyper-security, preventing risk at the cost of our privacy, and eliminating any variable that might pose a threat to our compulsive quest for certainty. Thus, individual responsibility is surrendered to insurance companies, replacing value judgements with whether or not something is sue-able. How does the distribution of power work?
