Public Service – Cruising the Cafeteria
In response to Boudoir Babylon by Adam Nathaniel Furman + Sibling Architecture, and provocation from A Single Voice by Susan Philipsz, Luke George with collaborators Alexander Powers and Sarah Aiken, invoke the chorus performer from mid-20th century American film spectacles of flamboyant dance fantasies, crooning songsters and liberated camera movements. A singular body is isolated from the choreography en masse, their movements and labour deconstructed through a deliberately slow re-embodiment. Playfully orbiting, climbing and tumbling down the technicolour tiers of edible forms, the performer cruises the salon’s catwalks and peepholes – a serenade in service to the mass.

‘She started to float into the sky because of the overdose. Although he wanted to shoot her in order to prevent her from floating further, he could not bear to aim the arrow at her. She kept on floating until she landed on the moon.’
Inspired by the myth of the Chinese moon goddess Chang’e, encounter Scotty So’s performance of As She Floats across the Ground Floor of NGV International during Triennial EXTRA. Dressed in a holographic Tang dynasty style Hanfu and hair and makeup of the traditional image of the moon goddess, Scotty So silently lipsyncs her story in Chinese Opera as an offering to the spirits of the space.
