Altered State is a two-channel video that depicts a series of orchestrated performances filmed in private residences. The video shows three people singing and dancing in suburban, 1960’s Australian interiors, suggesting a situation of interrelated dislocation and isolation. The performers appear to be interacting with each other despite the separation of time and space between them.

Performers: Alfred Cauker, Fabio Chivhanda and Aurelia Nyandeng Ngor
