"SYMPOSION / DOMINATION", LAZARETI, Dubrovnik, Croatia
sound, 4’ 41’’, loudspeakers, light, stage
electronically
processed pop song "Would I Lie to You" by an American music duo
Charles and Eddie
original
sheet music is played by various percussion instruments, thus creating a
militant rhythm; speech synthesis software transforms the lyrics to spoken
words
a false,
manipulated version of the song is created, although the text is trying to
convince us otherwise, i.e. that we would never lie
lie as a
dominant fact of the present moment
the
positions that disseminate lies are trying to convince (us) that they are
actually being sincere
presentation:
the song is continuously played from two loudspeakers suspended over the stage;
stairs that lead to the stage invite the viewer to climb up and assume
"the position"
