Abstract
Rupture: all the stars unshining is an affecting video and performance installation, revealing the ways in which the body and the world mimic each other in states of panic and crisis. Rupture explores how symptoms of environmental and human 'disorder' can be seen as an appropriate response to personal traumas and global disaster. This relationship plays out across multiple screens alongside occasional moments of live performance, placing Barratt's body in direct conversation with extraordinary video footage of landscapes in states of transformation and flux.

Description
Rupture: all the stars unshining was premiered as part of the 2022 Liveworks Festival of Experimental Art. The work featured an inter-media installation that was punctuated by a series of live performance interventions that blurred the line between installation and performance. Across the 10 days, there were 17 performance interventions.
