2005
The Condemned Opera aimed to blend ballet and utility to establish a new dialogue between them. The installation included a light box displaying a graphic of a utility elevator and a chandelier hung inside a plexi-glass box to spark a reaction or movement within this contrast. Although the artist's costume was inspired by theatrical ballet, the movements during the performance were repetitive, resembling elevator motions.
The Condemned Opera was first performed at the 2005 Irrational Exhibitions at Track 16 Bergamot Station, and later won the Artist of the Year prize at the London International Creative Competition Awards (LICC).
The sound design was provided by Joseph Bishara.
