We are drawn to the aura of ruined factories, of disused hospitals, abandoned civil defense facilities and other non-places. It is here we find some of the last autonomous urban spaces from within our (neoliberal) capitalistic cage, wherein everything needs to have a function and a price. The needlessness of such locations for society, their temporality and their evocative potential in their momentary state of sustained non-progression fuel our imagination. 

Our urge is to examine these forsaken locations for their capacity to capture and store time, to incorporate the cycle of becoming and passing. Often unloved for their alleged ugliness and unwanted for their inexistent financial utility, these places are memorials for things faded. They are also testimonials for the retrieval of new life. The transformative quality of abandoned spaces provides us with the silence and time to consider the present, to remember or imagine the past, and to envision a future.  

With each performance we explore and document a human-built, persistently untouched place and thereby create a distinct, expanding audiovisual archive of such locations. After our on-site work we merge the field recordings with electronic music and combine freshly filmed footage with material from our archive. With every live performance we create one unique glowing, droning, alluring and expansive dark space formed from different locations that together create an unstable, re-emerging and utopian zone. 

All these venues might be lost to human needs. But under the thick coat of dust, plants defeat concrete floors and spiders create ingenious artifacts of the future. Despite the filth, there is beauty in decay.
