Constant Nothing 2023

Two figures occupy a decrepit room, littered with clunkily modified pieces of Ikea furniture and cheap, spooky masks. There is no progression towards larger events, no narrative to uncover. Just time to waste.

This is Constant Nothing, a video performance about nothingness, boredom, and/or performance itself. Angus McGrath is interested in the way that the teenage subcultures surrounding punk and metal relish and most directly deal with the inevitable anxiety of our world through their contradictory embrace of extreme dramatics and spiritless disaffection.
