Inspired by the collateral, incompatible and sudden world described in Louis MacNiece’s 1935 poem 'Snow,' each World is Sudden event brought together a breadth of live practice, spanning performance, music and sound alongside disparate moving image works, internet video phenomena and archival material. This first iteration in a specially designed set the works included was presented as a continuous sequential flow resisting the tyranny of prescribed thematics and embracing “the drunkenness of things being various”.The sculptural choreography reacts to the particularities of each space within the programme and what the performers and viewers bring with them each night. It is animated through the participation of people. Within this arena, the installation generates spaces and situations that allude to both theatrical and architectural sceneries while remaining essentially abstract. During the events the sculptures can be accessed and used by everyone in the room for example as a protective screen, a meeting point, an obstacle or a support structure, to name a few. Catcher Pressure Pusher distributes the attention across the room conjugating a variety of parallel aesthetic experiences rather than pointing towards a singular centre of attention.
