ARENA is a moving image work that documents the performance of a five-way tug-of-war.
In the five-way tug-of-war, the energy of the participants becomes the media, the ink in a pen, perpetually emptied out. By introducing a structure that can be interacted with, or ‘activated’ by a group, ARENA aims to investigate how systems of power, domination, and struggle simmer beneath the surface of everyday life.
