Spectacles
Is there not something within us that longs for the overwhelming? Something in us resonates before a roaring waterfall, the vastness of the ocean, the infinity of the starry sky.
A memory of our own infinity.
A spectacle that overwhelms the senses creates an inescapable experience through sheer decibel force. The volume is turned all the way up, lights blast toward the ceiling, and power is pushed to its limits.
If a spectacle is created with the intensity of the performer and a voice that carries far — as in ancient amphitheatres — its frequency resonates within the body of the spectator.
This is what I sought in creating these spectacles.
And also this: that we always stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, and that we must remember where we come from.
