(EP Park and Phil Root) continue their shared interest in the process reference and evasion, creating fragmented narrations, sound and visuals. WtoA (Will to Annihilation) is based on a character they met on a train six years ago (“the true artist”), who they connected with 19th century mathematician Charles Hinton’s theory of the Fourth Dimension, and Eugene Schieffelin’s dream of birds (a dream that turned to nightmare when he released 80 starlings into Central Park, covertly introducing a foreign species). The performance explores the role of language in the conception of art to rethink the value placed on the artist’s action and findings, exploring the grey area between words and the world.
