EVERYWHEN is an intermedia performance on history’s endless rotation.
Whirling together spatialized sound, movement, and imagery in an intermedia performance, EVERYWHEN orbits around two sides of life - the personal and the political. A woman as a loving mother who also promotes murder and slavery; a loving couple involved in the propaganda of a perverse ideology; kids that give a fascist salute as if in play. Something is wrong in these scenes. Images of everyday families, mums, and dads with their children, tiny groups of people, close to each other, face to face with the threat of history repeating itself.
Our memories often surface suddenly, changed, idealized, and sometimes they even erase themselves spontaneously. By leaving out key events and rewriting history a barrier is built between the new generation and older people, and this makes it too easy for history to repeat itself. An often caring, gentle and well-meaning personal life is contrasted here with the reality of the social individual, who can often be sinister, vengeful and hateful. But how can we be critical to our own worldviews when they are created by those closest to us?

A performansz az egyén alapvetően szeretetteljes, emberi kapcsolódásaiban nagyon is intim és bensőséges, sebezhető viszonyaiból tekint ki, és igyekszik erős hanghatásokkal, eltávolító robotikus hangokkal, erős és gyors képvágásokkal összeilleszteni a személyest a nyilvános szférákkal. Folyamatosan kérdez: mennyiben maradunk egyéni résztvevői az embercsoportokat tömegesen érintő eseményeknek? Mennyiben lesz közügy egy szvasztika tetoválás a háton, és az, amit képvisel?
