Artists Statement

LaTurbo Avedon performs Myriam Bleau’s music in a multiplatform audiovisual performance. Eternity Be Kind exposes the codified spaces of performance and hints at a different future for personal and musical representation. Navigating between hyper pop, mythical symbolism and baroque hints, the artists propose a multilayered experience of collective mise en abyme. Video: Eternity Be Kind ~ teaser
