Rigorous research into systems of influence and collaboration has led me to develop a clear methodology. I often establish a dialogue between live and pre-recorded events, where multiple perspectives and unstable truths interrogate what agency might mean. Text, audio and image have emerged as useful tools for undermining each other. Their interplay creates space for multiple meanings and absurd dissonance. Interactive pieces have also become a critical element of my research, often taking on the guise of an ‘accidental performance’, where the audience is encouraged to consider their physical presence within the meta-narrative.
