DB10

Unhinged, obscene, and disruptive

Tim Gregory and Melletios Kyriakidis dismantle dominant narratives, exposing the grotesque, the derailed, and the unspeakable in contemporary discourse. Field recordings in cultural institutions. A dissection of the fetishised and the discarded, the hauntological wreckage of academia, and the anarchic play of a world in collapse. From autotheory to Marx, from magic to pornography, from counter-histories to fractured aesthetics · nothing is stable, and everything is unsettled.
