Lyrics

Utopia

Bird species never seen or heard before The first flute carved from the first fauna Utopia (It's not) Elsewhere Let's purify You assigned me to protect our lantern To be intentional about the light Utopia

It isn't elsewhere It, it's here My instinct has been shouting at me for years Saying let's get out of here Huge toxic tumor bulging underneath the ground here Purify, purify, purify, purify toxicity

The exhibition brings together three large-scale audiovisual installations.
