She’s Evil
She’s Evil, Most Definitively Subliminal sees Alex Quicho and Noura Tafeche enter the theatre of psychological operations online – because physical wounds heal – and lay out the girl artillery, from IDF e-girls to DIY subliminals. At this intersection of asymmetrical warfare and individualistic self-development, the battle is fought via seduction, influence, disruption, and confusion.
Commissioned for Transmediale 2024: You’re Doing Amazing Sweetie. Performed again for A*LIVE: Radical Cuteness at Museu de l’art Prohibit, Barcelona and Are You A Software Update? at Aksioma, Ljubljana.
Collaborative performance with Noura Tafeche
Two-channel projection with found subliminal audio, 30 mins
