Performance as Publishing

— Phil Coy

Nothing is as dark as the memory of darkness

Phil Coy reworked his performance installation Langue cassée, 1995, originally made in L’Usine LU, Nantes, France, to use closed circuit cameras to mediate and broadcast the work live. Nothing is as dark… retains the collaged motifs of Marcel Duchamp’s Porte-bouteilles (bottle rack), 1914, and Keroauc’s typewriter and scroll (used in the writing of On The Road, 1953). The work invites connections between the seemingly arcane mechanical, chance procedures of language production, with that of today’s networked social media.
