MATT WARREN - THE SMALL HOURS
art/installation

ex-X (Phase 10hz)
a ritual conceived and directed by Matt Warren



A ritual conceived and directed by Matt Warren.
Duration 10 minutes.
Lights, subwoofer, personal audio devices, performers.
This video documents the ritual and 'aftermath' installation in excerpts.
The ritual itself is 10 minutes, the installation, ongoing.

Participants were asked to consider something in their lives that had happened
that had angered or upset them in some way, that they would like to confront.
Over the 10 minutes the participants were reminded to keep thinking about this
with their eyes closed. The ritual/performance concludes with the participant,
pointing to the roof and screaming for as long and loud as they can, a kind of exorcism.

This work was presented at the ONO Project #2, Hobart Tasmania on November 26, 2009.
