Crash Body

Paula Garcia
_BRA

Two cars collide into each other at high speed under lights.

Two cars engage in an exchange of near misses, building to a visceral head-on collision between the artist and a stunt driver. Unfolding over two hours, a soundscape of engine growls and shearing metal will rip through the body as the impact nears. The latest chapter in the artist's two-decade-long dive into forces seen and unseen, and the raw experience of violent action on the body.

The aftermath will be viewable at Dark Park until Sunday, 15 June.
