Conceived as an experimental collage of kinetics, text, sculptures, music and film, Kiki's Fugue: Spleen at the Verge of Boredom 2# is a new work by MRZB, produced and presented in a semi-derelict stripped-down office building in the Amsterdam city center. The work is based on the picaresque wanderings, transitions and displacements of the protagonist, Kiki, via different mental and physical spaces and states. The camera follows her inside and outside the screen in slapstick loops, expressive, repetitious, hysterical, abstracted, neurotic. The work unrolls a globular cosmo, stretching an undulating expanse of contexts (offices, homes, TV sets) in a psychedelic melange of registers (personal, confessional, theatrical, absurd) and aesthetics. Diaristic entries are mixed and merged with visionary moments, lyrical waltzes alternate with industrial refrains, corporative leftovers and office paraphernalia are blended with Emporio-moda and goth-like empty-headed puppets, emerging from a broken suitcase or displayed around the leftovers of a bathtub, they define a dark carnivalesque sculptural language of discarded objects-humans dolls, voyeuristically staring back at the viewer. The present broadcasted piece is a new edit of the sound originally produced for the installation.
