Modeselektor presents: Work
When art, dance and music is in perfect harmony in a radical performance by Corey Scott-Gilbert.
Work is a powerful statement, a hypnotic experiment, a somatic experience and a masterfully performed and filmed interpretation of Modeselektor’s Extended mixtape. It was directed by visual artist Krsn Brasko under the creative direction by Tobias Staab and features costumes by Blanka Flávio Juán Nuñez and Laurent Tijou.
„Created in an unforgiving year, “Work” became a refuge, a place to find solace from the outside world. The inescapable thump of Modeselektor’s “Extended” left me embodying mundane tasks so intensely that not only did these tasks become important but their original purpose was forgotten, the “doing” more significant than any result. I rediscovered the intention of simple tasks to create my reality without regard to any past. I structured “Work” in a way that asks the performer not to “perform”, but to drench themselves in a state of process. By fully embodying each task I find myself in a minefield of emotion. "Work" is an exorcism of boredom in both its creation and in its practice. One will undoubtedly reflect and feel different from before it all began.... again + again... from a lonely pew.“ -Corey Scott-Gilbert
