MANTA
In ‘Manta’ the artist resuscitates the voodoo folklore of Balkan, through a process of repeatedly drawing and dissolving light in live visual music performance.
‘The performance explores immediacy through ritual set around a cave fire, taking the visitors on a multimodal experience. With stroboscopic etch-a-sketch-like glyphs, the artist expresses the Slavic paganism through spontaneous gestural lines, and bold dots. He distills the blacklight to create a sense of movement and transformation of space. Irfan’s laser paintings – raw and hypnotic – evoke synesthesia and embrace imperfection.’ – Wilmot Moana
WARNING: This performance may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.
