BISHI – Reflektions

For the first time, Reflektions is accompanied by improvised, live-coded performances. Reflektions combines volumetric 3D capture visuals with an original 9-minute musical composition, incorporating words from the Bhagavad Gita and Khalil Gibran, reflecting on the universal nature of creativity. For this presentation at Arnolfini, the AV installation will be accompanied by three twenty-minute performances by BISHI with Phillip Grannell (violin) and Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres (keys).
