Ivan Cheng: “16”

Ivan Cheng stages one of his emblematic “live situations for camera,” continuously filming himself in real time as he traverses an iconic Aspen landscape. Blending self-reflexive monologue, improvisation, song, and chance encounter, the performance unfolds as a playful feedback loop between action and documentation. Gestures, speech, and incidental encounters are immediately translated into image. The camera creates a shifting dialogue between the live audience and its mediated double as Cheng navigates the space between spontaneity and rehearsal, performance and observation.

Location to be announced.
