International Contemporary Film Performance

The international exhibition NEVER CROSS THE SAME RIVER TWICE underlines the transnational dialogues on negotiating identities and everyday life through performance gestures that wish to cross borders on experience and subjectivity.
The ability to change is unquestionably more important today, because we are living in a dynamic environment, where things are changing at the speed of light. People are looking to make deep changes in our environmental and energy systems, our economic, representative and regulatory systems.
This research project is a time shifting narrative providing a space for reflection in the age of constant accessibility. How does performance art reflect the challenges of society at this very moment?
NEVER CROSS THE SAME RIVER TWICE wants to open uncanny spectral exits in crossing borders between art practice, dialogue, image and interactivity by introducing innovative short film performance works and breaking conventions in order to open inspiring ways of seeing and experiencing, and decolonizing the enlightenment of dominant cultural discourse.
Many of the works represent current practices in performance converging between video, film, and installation. 
NEVER CROSS THE SAME RIVER TWICE is the unexpected that re-engages with the concept of change and escapes the difficulties of cultural origins whilst encouraging artists to communicate visceral ideas and conversate in a global network.
