Forever Young
(2015) - performance
Performance in an all-white set with rotating platform and a large rotating LED halo by Nikki Hock.
Forever Young is a portrait of alter-ego Young Ludo and homage to contemporary American superstar culture and lifestyle. The lawlessness of its hyper-masculine figures and aesthetic lifestyle is mainly communicated through videos and media. Because of what you see is so framed, the protagonists become more than human, a representation of themselves, like a sign or a god.
Only, when constantly performing, the image becomes greater and more consistent than the 'authentic' self. Forever Young explores the question of which one is more true.
