Shipala-shijala-falajala-valamaya-valajala-valamala-ya

Shipala-shijala-falajala-valamaya-valajala-valamala-ya is a full body giant mask, mobile puppetry tent, fabric clown-jukebox, vehicle of unexpected interactions, spasm of interruption in the flow of the normal, hiding place for anarchist fugitives, exploration of erotic subjectivity, emblem of total poetic liberation, and example of a species on the verge of extinction.

Installation created from reclaimed textiles during The Fool Residency at AirSpace Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent, UK, July 2022 with support from Arts Council England. Exhibited alongside a screen showing the video-performance MARHÖ THÉLKI ARAPNA MOOKI BAWU NYAP AH.
