Juan Betancurth and Daniel Neumann
BREAKING THE CYCLE
“The future has been canceled. We go as far as we can.”

This installation is part of No Longer Empty's exhibition When You Cut into the Present the Future Leaks Out at the Old Bronx Borough Courthouse.

In a climate of paralysis, alienation and over-stimulation Juan B. and Daniel N. are creating a sparse environment of ambiguous objects, charged through ontological displacement and sound. Then they take a step back.

The objects, derived from technological relics, are now on their own, forming an interconnected installation articulated through sound. The objects are vibrating, idling, speaking up at times. A heavy atmosphere dwells in this seemingly forgotten basement space, to which access is sculpturally and architecturally restricted. It requires gestures, an initial relating of the visitor's body to this subconscious field, a small rite-of-passage to put you within. You amongst them. Enjoy your stay.
