US performance star Narcissister’s latest work is centred around an installation as she brings an oversized chain reaction machine made of recycled everyday objects to the stage. Three masked performers are driving the action. A falling discus thrower (pin-up boy of Nazi propaganda), a marble run that goes up in flames, vaginal fireworks are elements of a choreographed game about cause and effect. In contrast to the inspirational film The Way Things Go (1987) by Peter Fischli and David Weiss, which covered up the male interference (i.e., editing) in such a game, Narcissister is foregrounding the female, partly nude performers as driving forces. Equipped with emblematic, doll-like Narcissister masks, they become projection spaces and provide an eerie commentary on entrenched beauty ideals and the objectification of women. Voyage Into Infinity is humour, critique and visual spectacle rolled into one: raw energy and punk spirit.
