AEON✝
current Project
AEON† is an accumulative body of work presented as live performance, video and installation works by Phasmahammer (AKA Justin Shoulder).
In an unfolding Mesozoic Mise-En-Cene the artists use their body and craft as an instrument of metaphysics in genesis with the wreckage. After Cyclic and successive big *BANGS* the boundless clown dances on the blade’s edge.
Aeon—meaning a vital force, or an indefinite period of time—bears tension with †(dagger): the symbol placed beside the name of a species indicating it has become extinct. The world of AEON† speculates a realm between the infinite and the definite. The performance space becomes a fertile petri dish incubating distinct and recombinant organisms. Fusing Filipinx myth, puppetry and queer pageantry as ceremony, AEON† births a hypnotic ecology of beings that emerge from the muck of a decomposing parallel world.
