Go forth multiply, fill the Earth, subdue it, vandalize the Garden of Eden, then abolish man
runs the
narrative of advanced human civilization
Three Tales is a video-opera in three acts (titled
Hindenburg,
Bikini and
Dolly) in creative collaboration between
Beryl Korot (Video) and
Steve Reich (Music) and
Ensemble Modern in the
Konzerthaus Berlin
The mental screen of the video performance collages documentary materials depicting some of the
integral accidents of our accelerated
modernity.
Techne not
poiesis is the driving force of our progress. A hasty and aimless Can Do culture with no time or will to reflect on the desirability of their actions. Drifting from catastrophe to
catastrophe. Man
running amok in the
anthropocene.
