After Psycho Shower (2010)

Overview

PERFORMANCE VERSION 16mm multi-projection performance, “After Psycho Shower”, which deconstructs the famous shower-murder scene from Hitchcock’s “Psycho”, frame by frame, and concludes in melting and burning of film itself after the obsessive repetition of it, aiming at renewal of the cultural memory of this well-known images into audio-visual ‘experience’. The soundtrack of this expanded ‘horror’ cinema performance consists of noise music, which unconsciously ambushes the audience. “After Psycho Shower” is the piece that (dis)unites the relation between sound and image in horror cinema, previously severed by digitalization of the both, in an indeterminate and contingent way of improvised audio-visual performance.
