NO LUCK PURE SKILL
NO LUCK PURE SKILL
was created for M'AMA NON M'AMA, an immersive installation activated by
performance and reflects on chance, fortune, fate, risk and ritual
without ever settling on a position of disenchanted or enchanted,
leaving to the outside world whether to maintain or disrupt this
balance. NO LUCK PURE SKILL is the visual result of a deep dive into the magic
trick tutorial spiral that rearranges selected clips following a
climactic arch. From the basics to the extremes, it juxtaposes the
sourced material with footage of spectacularly failed attempts and
interpretations of the magic trick tutorials, thus assuring that at
least one foot of the observer will remain glued to the ground of a
seemingly gravity-based reality.
