The artist group's most recent show examined the complex relationship between agents of power and the civilians they supposedly protect.
-- who was tricked into the car of an off-duty police officer, Wayne Couzens, through the abuse of his police ID, handcuffs, and training -- was followed by a public vigil that ended with excessive force being used against female protesters.
All of these movements -- whether for civil liberties or for climate action -- saw the ubiquitous presence of state police and direct aggressions towards civilians. Made in collaboration with Turkish choreographer Ekin Bernay, who was inspired not only by personal experience of riot police in her home country but by her own father's detainment for supposed dissidence, the exhibition experience has been actively designed to unsettle.
The use of mirrors and enclosed space creates an airlessness, putting the viewer in the middle of the action. The artists describe how the notion of crowd control"plays a big part in the choreography". This was partly inspired by a realisation that very few people have experienced a riot . Often, this brutality is mediated instead through the flatness of a computer screen or newspaper.
PentHouss have long engaged with visions of a better future; utopian fictions that explore sprawling landscapes and expansive bodies whilst engaging themes of transformation, transgression and the infinite possibilities of post-digital identity. With this lurch towards a more visceral and dystopian investigation of contemporary power --"literally the reflection of reality" -- they hope to evolve the project and tour it internationally.
Yonathan wonders about the project's impact if politicians, army people, police people, the privileged could partake."I would love actual politicians to experience this work, because I think the politician never went to the riot, you know, he only sees it from the top." After the interview, Anna and Yonathan are heading home to anti-fog the performers' riot helmets by hand ahead of rehearsals the next morning.
