Bean
Bean
UK based artist using performance as an act of transformation, a catharsis through sound, a reclamation & refusal of the body.
Bean makes performance work that incorporates live voice, installation and film. They like using technology as a malleable material, testing & pushing it through live moments; from their earliest works playing super 8 films through their vagina, to recent works digitally tracking their body to live-edit sound.
Through their work they often ‘speak’ of things silenced in daily life, or attempt to undo language used in mass media/ normative pop-culture.
