tries to catch the dutch burgerlijkheid in one image (this is the first attempt)

this video installation handles in an ironic way the subject of failure and pathos presented by dance-,music- and other foundfootagevideos or dilletante selfmade settings. . i cut myself in different costumes onto the material and try make it even more ridiculus. but in a way i´m also a fan of eric adam´s (manowar) desperateness or the dancing moves in fame (usa 1980) its an ambivalent “childish fan” and “reflected critisizer” regard

Albero Rovesciato’s members are native to the mystic isles off Italy but now they roam Berlin, presumably because they have smashed all the percussion instruments in their homeland. All we know is we’re glad we located them with some remaining objects and intact drums, because few troupes can make us simultaneously smile with delight and scamper for cover when they rev up like this. They emerge from the badass Italian sound collective Phonorama, so we know they mean business once they open their trick bags and begin spilling out wares of leftfield musique concrete & cybertimes junkyard gamelan. Before-and-after shots of their performance spaces provide evidence that a typical Albero live action reduces much of their tools to splinters & powder. This isn’t to imply that things are sloppy, however. Not for a second. Crystal recording fidelity on ‘Ancient Shining Drums’ benefits the wheezing-blurting-whacking fits of OCD voodoo, ensuring that we have never heard chaos sound so lean & tangible before. “….escape from pedals and digital effects, to approach and find material contact with the instruments, to arrive at PYRAMID LEVEL.
