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.
