‘Amidst Daemons and Demigods’, @heith___ for @kingkongmagazine
heith’s multidimensional universe is an exercise in the substance of emptiness.
A story on what followed Escape Lounge (PAN)’s live offering, a dramaturgy conceived in collaboration with Bianca Peruzzi (@trocadera_2000 ) and performed with Leonardo Rubboli (@leonardorubboli ) at @berlinatonal .
Both a statement of intimacy and a celebration of the elusive, the twelve-chapter piece discloses the elemental codings of our too-human condition.
In conversation with Julieta Colantonio (@jxcolantonio )

@gata_magazine editorial
Public spaces once imagined as sites for freedom and democracy now reveal themselves as arenas of surveillance, control and authoritarian violence. Private spaces are equally under siege. What was once free of prying eyes is now tracked and managed through advanced surveillance technologies that map behaviour and neutralise dissent. Privacy and anonymity have become both a privilege and a punishment, confined to the realm of social otherness.

@gata_magazine editorial
CELL is conceived as a visual interrogation of philosophical cross paths and socio-anthropological relevance. It mirrors the layers of surveillance, repression and subjugation that quietly structure daily life. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s concept of “heterotopia”, the CELL becomes a site where the public reflects and distorts itself, functioning as a mirror of societal concerns.

this land is your land
site specific installation
for @council.plus
in collaboration with @melaniatrump420
Are we living on the land or are we living off of the land? Are we being spectators looking from the outside into space or are we the spectacle positioned within space? Taking pride in heritage and ownership is strongly connected to the accumulation of resources, a need for security and the pursuit of a legacy. Differing between claiming space, and claiming ownership is difficult. This land is your land is the result of our research into the cultural transfiguration of land and landscape as well as the socioeconomic and ecological outcomes that follow. However, it is this transfigured understanding of land which renders- with devastating consequences- an international philosophy of spatial and thus personal conquest, often times connected to certain myths and legends in order to justify appropriation and occupation. People are the space they occupy, and the land’s very existence becomes it’s own demise. With the result that often times none of the initial qualities the land was sought out for remain. This land is your land explores the dynamics and correlations between ownership, voyeurism, space and resistance.
