A sumptuous visual essay celebrating archetypal forces of creation and destruction in a stunning display culled from a century of cinematic record from around the globe, and set to a moving soundtrack composed by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. Bodysong begins by exploring the individual’s traumatic eruption into the world, followed by the first shaky steps taken by a toddler filled with wonder at the miracle of existence. Later the lens widens to capture multiple social realities. Rock concerts, initiation rites, banquets and food riots all form part of this great dance that unites and divides us. Moments of tenderness or joy are juxtaposed with brutal pornographic images dissolving into scenes of mob violence, the carnage of war, genocide, ultimate destruction and beyond.

A rollercoaster ride of the senses.
