PEDER & HENDRIK
Production still from ENTER WORK FORCE part of several collaborations initiated between Pedersen and Hendrickson. This specific piece, like much of their work together operates primarily on chance, blunder, risk, and play. This specific project relates to the fluidity of the self and its sensual modes of existence. By sharing costumes and trading places, we dismantle any fixed notion of being, taking on a number of characters along the way. In the film, these characters exist in unfixed/nonlinear time and dig in—sometimes joyously, sometimes tentatively—to a buffet of sensual pleasures.
