Fresh from down and dirty shows at Joe's Pub, the Empty Bottle
(Chicago) and beyond, London-based Tetine uncorks the bubble bath
for a visceral experiment in live sound and video.
Turkish Bath (2004) was originally
conceived as a sound installation for the Sonar Festival.
"Masculinity and its social, sexual and human unfoldings
define the main concept of this work, comprised of a series of
images of men in bathing situations (showers, bathtubs, toiletries,
etc) and their corresponding private spaces. The participants
are men who belong to different social classes, nationalities
and age groups, all filmed by Tetine’s Eliete Mejorado."
Lucas Bambozzi, Curator
Here at Monkey Town, Tetine remixes bath-time video with live
audio intervention across four screens and sound channels. Intimate
conversations and philosophy in the bathroom blend with experimental
electronica and unscrubbed beats in a provocative exploration
of voyeurism, intimacy, and personal hygiene.
ABOUT TETINE
The sage Shaquille O'Neal once said, "Don't fake the funk
on a nasty dunk." Tetine, the performance art/electronica
duo forming the core of the UK's Slum Dunk collective, live by
that motto. Members Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner, both native
Brazilians who have since relocated to London, created Tetine
in São Paulo in 1995 by combining various cultural and
artistic currents. Lying at the intersection of performance art,
video, and dirty electronica, a Tetine concert comes off as a
Latin American version of Fischerspooner, with the raw sounds
of baile funk infusing the squelchy beats." (PS) - Flavorpill.
