Obituary is a live monologue performed by the artist which falls apart and eats itself.
Combining characters and motifs from past work, the performance acts as a parody of Plato’s cave and an expansion of the language found in Matt Copson’s animation and installation work.
This is his first fully-fledged performance with live soundtrack by long-time collaborator felicita.

OBITUARY. MATT COPSON
Myriad Reflector is an exhibition exercise into the nocturnality. Conceived as a multilayered score unfolding through time, the contributions of artists —composed by light, sonic, rhythmic, smell, haptic, and choreographic elements— intermingle in a kaleidoscopic display defined by disorientation, refractive perspectives, and sensual textures.
