Spiritual Bonbons

exhibition
Spiritual Bonbons

Spiritual Bonbons, was a commission for a show titled, Bumper Sticker, in a gallery space in Canary Wharf (London's financial district).

The work examined Masonic histories and forms found within the city, and patterns and/or occurrences embedded within this primarily male dominated corruption.

The work I produced looked at fractal formations that are embedded into everything from nature to the stock market that also exist on hippy t-shirts.

Spiritual Bonbons is about people buying into belief systems, revealing conspiracies or personal philosophies, and its cost.

For the show a performance and subsequent film was made, using female friends and myself, we created a spoof 'ceremony of initiation' to demonstrate concealed ambiguous unclassified power structures present in the city.

Costumes/chorography inspired by North Californian new age meditation cult fronted by Buddha Maitreya the Christ and his wife Mandarava Tara, and Bauhaus member Oskar Schlemmer's Das Triadische Ballett (The Triadic Ballet).
