Symbiogenesis consists of a series of repetitive and rhythmical musings on nature and culture, often superimposing the two.
16mm projection is combined with live sound, a layering of optical (found) tracks, a specially prepared dub plate and sounds produced live (voice and percussive instruments).
The title derives from the work of Lynn Margulis and to her notion that the convergence of species – rather than their divergence – is driving evolution. Similarly, the performance integrates a set of elemental images and sounds that come to life through layering and repetition.
