archipelago

performance

as a flaneur-noir, bonneville, along with their collaborators and fellow performers, donned attire reminiscent of medical or laboratory garb. against backdrops of ruins and desolate fields, they navigated human nature’s complexities, encountering fragments of frustration and embracing a marginal attitude toward their surroundings. this deliberate disharmony with aesthetic norms underscored the performance’s exploration of existential themes.
