CrossWalk is a performance and fashion installation created by Torn Space; featuring the work of audio visual collective GroupWork, the clothing line of Buyer, fashion designer Kylie Priscilla and the public as models. The production explores topics of quantum mechanics, contemporary African dance and mob mentality.
These seemingly disparate subjects can be explored through the lens of complexity and unpredictability. Quantum mechanics deals with the fundamental unpredictability and non-linearity of the microscopic world, African contemporary dance often incorporates improvisation and spontaneity, mob mentality exhibits emergent behavior from individual actions.
Audience members will gather at the intersection of Paderewski and Wilson Street for a live photoshoot featuring models washed ashore from the seventh dimension. The models sunbathe on rocks from 400 million years ago, prepare for a match and gather around a limousine that once acted as the party transportation for Studio 54. As the sun begins to set the production moves to inside Torn Space where the action and party begins.
