Ground on Ground | Various Artists

Step into a shimmering eclipse, where sun and moon engage in a mysterious duet, and sound, light and music invite us to transcend our world of flesh. Ground On Ground holds in tension the inexorable march of the spheres with our tenuous realities: digital, social, simulated, where our bodies fall away and the real is questionable.

This performance, developed through a series of collaborative workshops between artists in Australia and Hong Kong, based around the notion of mapping the meta discourses between diverse artistic practices: sculpture, new media, sound, installation; Ground On Ground rages in continual sound and light, and contemplates the ever present condition of our falling bodies in space.

Featuring Liveworks 2024 favourites Emily Parsons-Lord, Shan Turner-Carroll and Evelyn Ida Morris, with Hong Kong-based Taurin Barrera, Lazarus Chan Long Fung, Vvzela Kook, Davor Vincze, Karen Yu, and current.cam (Provides Ng, Eli Joteva, Yanzi and Artem Konevskikh).
