Special Features generates metaphors for the body’s collision with the endless stream of media in contemporary society: the “news, views and ideology in the guise of knowledge.” Commenting on the frequently duplicitous nature of today’s mass media, it visualises the collision as distinct physical encounters that induce visceral reactions in both performer and viewer. These physical encounters, performed by the artist, are filmed and showcased on three separate channels. He centres his performance on a Bengali newspaper, whose text he tries to erase with a blade, soak in water, and hammer with nails, as if to conduct a “post mortem” of a single event reported in the paper, in the hope of eliciting some truth. This work, originally a physical installation within a gallery space, has been specially adapted for this exhibition.
