The True Nature of Things
Skorpio Niko
An expressionist probe into the borderlines of sanity and reality, the installation combines two apparently independent videos, one of a performance and another that mixes self-shot and found footage. They merge into one through a soundtrack that is built around a conversation recorded on a found cassette tape.
